Editing Arena of Storms (section)

===Reptiloids===
The only race that lives outside the Arena, the lizard-like Reptiloids inhabit the Sands Vast and Burning, the desert zone between the Wall and Paradise. As desert lizards, they spend most of the day sleeping or sunbathing and are active at night. They are not a particularly populous race, as a Reptiloid female can't lay more than three eggs in her lifetime. They are nomadic hunters who subsist on monstrous Devilflies and other desert creatures. Reptiloids have been completely isolated from other peoples for most of their history, but occasionally a runaway Birdman will come into contact with a Reptiloid clan. From the Birdmen, Reptiloids learned of the gods and so chose the Goddess of Fire and the God of Earth, the creators of the Sands, as their primary deities. Birdmen also introduced the Reptiloids to concepts such as codified laws and trials; before this, Reptiloid justice consisted mostly of public wrestling matches, although these matches are still used sometimes as per their new code of law. In imitation of the finery of upper-class Birdmen as was described to them, many Reptiloid chieftains wear sleeveless, backless garments and jewelry made of gold (rather than Birdman feather-metal). Reptiloid druids call upon the gods through ritual battles or fighting tournaments called ''rys-u-mattah''.

Reptiloids are able warriors, distinguished by their unique style of wrestling, in which victory is achieved by lifting one's opponent above one's head, then dropping him. They are also proficient in the use of several weapons, including the spear-mace, the traditional weapon of their people, comprised of a blunt bludgeoning end and a pointed stabbing end. They also make use of bows, spears, tomahawks and daggers.
