Skao'ru

The Skao'ru, or 'Outsiders', are a race of humanoids that typically have reptilian or dragonoid features. They are centered entirely around the Ashen Mountains, a ring of volcanically active mountains due to their need for extreme heat. Very little is known about Skao'ru society, as the only contact with them has been through the soldiers of their empire, who staunchly defend the few passes into their lands and refuse all outsiders. What is known about the Skao'ru comes from original texts, written by the First Elves, which details are great meteor that impacted the mountains, believed to be the source of dragons and the Skao'ru who worship them. However, First Elven texts are typically of dubious reliability, also claiming that dwarves are made of clay; something easily disputed.
