	All Isska have four prehensile fingers on each hand, tapered into strong, sharp talons. Two thick toes adorn their feet in the front, with one pronounce appendage acting as the balancing heel. Their tales are long and thick, in most cases, extending to the ground and dragging behind them, though they are prehensile and can be used to inflict deadly wounds. The Isska are heavily scaled, with broad plates naturally decorated with rosettes of varying color and brilliancy.

	With the decline of both the empire and the prosperity of their society, the Isska were exposed to the growing harshness of their failing environment. As the tributary of the Siham river dried up, their dependent way of life began to crumble around them. In response, the Isska came to blame [[Qarsythe]] and its obsession with sorcery for the resulting detriment. This disposition led to many bloody conflicts as the Arcanists sought power over the region.

	The wary trade-peace that the Isska have with another nomadic people of the Salt Desert, the [[Najjir#Shushan_Travelers\|Shushan]], is the product of their practiced scavenging, as well as daring and intermittent raids on Qarsythe caravans, where the lizardmen procure valuables and magical artifacts that they barter for provisions.

	The Isska are a tribal race and know very little the world beyond their own existence. Their low-tech civilization is reflected in their rudimentary, piecemeal armors and weapons.

Traditionally, both warriors and the more domestic members of the tribes will adorn themselves with assorted, multi-colored feathers and hides.

	In the case of warriors, the lizardmen will thread together heavy pieces of wood or bone to create basic chest pieces, helms or leg and arm guards. Rarely are their entire bodies fully clad in armor. Isska hunters and warriors are highly skilled in the use of long, narrow spears used to impale fish or strike birds from the air.

	The reptilian race known as the Isska have called the southern Najjir home since a time before it was the barren wasteland. Once, within lush jungles, the Isska thrived in a single population, with great cities and flourishing agricultural resources.

	Very rarely do the Isska travel beyond the reaches of the desert, as they are unfamiliar with other races and cultures. This xenophobia often results in fear-driven confrontation that almost always ends in the death of the opposite ~~creatures~~.
