Editing Ss'ressen (section)

=Emerald Scale=
Named for their highly distinctive green scales, the Emerald Scale are the proudest and haughtiest of all the ss'ressen clutches, firmly believing themselves to be the ur-stock from which all other ss'ressen were subsequently derived through splicing and [[fleshcrafting|biomancy]]. They have managed to maintain authority and prestige equivalent to the Barbed Tails by carefully manipulating the temperature of their hatching chambers, ensuring that all Emerald Scales, regardless of gender, are smarter than their counterparts. Unlike the Barbed Tails, they are still loyal to [[Kassegore]], and as the [[varn]] cults make inroads amongst the younger generations, the time may come when they emulate the Black Talons and flee the empire to preserve their own personal culture.
