Anointed People

The Anointed People were green skinned sapient reptiles native to Abonshee. They were roughly humanoid but with a long spiked tail. They stood on two feet, with the tail used for balance. They were larger and stronger than humans but clumsier and slower.

Culture

Anointed People lived in a feudal society with the nobility known as the 'Godlings' ruling over the serfs known as 'Unwashed'. Huge fortified castles were home to the Godlings. The whole society and the planet was ruled by the Godking.

In the past The Anointed People were very warlike with the Godlings constantly fighting territorial battles with each other. Territorial wars have given way to annual Springs gatherings in which the Godlings dress up in fine clothes, meet potential mates and visit distant lands. The battles at these gatherings were almost totally bloodless. The loser of the 'war' paid for the three day party that ensued.

The Anointed People dressed in colorful robes, carrying cudgels. The nobility wore exotic scale armor suits and carried broad swords. Titles used by the Anointed People are largely symbolic, a left over from a previous time.

Technology

Technology on Abonshee had not reached the level of mechanization. Swords, shields, wooden and stone buildings and animal-drawn carts were common. Poor sanitation created major health problems such as a high infant mortality rate.
