Editing Ss'ressen (section)

=Dark Crest=
Bred for stealth operations and assassination, the Dark Crest are marked by matte-black scales, and heat-diffusing saggital crests that help counter the thermal sensing abilities of many ssethric races. Although one of the most ancient clutches, the Dark Crest have fallen on hard times, unlike their Barbed Tail rivals, and their numbers have declined sharply. Their continued loyalty to the old faith of [[Kassegore]] and clutch-wide refusal to convert to the [[[varn]]  further pushed them from grace, resulting in the Barbed Tails being ordered to exterminate theme. However, the stealthy clutch largely escaped annihilation, fleeing the empire and forming an alliance with the human nation known as the Kobian Timal. But this is not enough, and they are seeking to flee further towards the Known World, in hopes of finding other allies; they dream of destroying the [[varn] ]  cults and reclaiming the empire in the name of the old gods, as well as avenging themselves on the Barbed Tails.
