NOTABLE NPCS
Ixchel | Chief’s daughter/healer - a friendly and outgoing repterran who loves to welcome visitors. She is enthusiastic, and clearly holds a fierce love for her people and home. She seeks out any way to try to rid the jungle of the Obsidian smog, especially so they can reunite with their skykin.
Alitzel | a Healer
a young, female repterran who works primarily in the Ts’aak huts. She specializes in knowledge of the herbs and medicinal remedies traditionally used by the clans. While she can be flighty (and be seen as a ditz), she is dedicated to her work, and not someone to be underestimated.
Chaac | a farmer
an older Reptarran who has witnessed the clans changed for generations. He distinctly remembers when the Obsidian Mist fell upon them, and is looked to by the community for guidance in traditions.
Xaman | A Scholar
a charming but soft spoken repterran. Despite his small size, he is highly intelligent and driven, leading him to be responsible for the Clan's record keeping. He is deeply invested in historical documents. Especially any held at The Kinohtala Temple.
Zama | A Jungle Scavenger
a female repterran who is known for being something of a solo act. She lives on the outskirts of the village, gathering food and ultimately staying isolated.
However, she is willing to guide people through the jungle, and has taken up the duty of acting as an escort and guide for anyone who travels long distances from the Clan's territory.
The Reptarrans are meditative people who encourage philosophy and intellectual intelligence as much as they do deft physical prowess. They pride themselves in their advanced mathematics and complex language that has been refined over generations.
Their hunting groups are small, as many Reptarrans focus instead on refining their farmland's waterways, or keeping up the clan's beautifully constructed cities of stone.

DEPICTIONS OF Ebenos: Aw’ilix
Aw'ilix is the guardian spirit celebrated for bringing about quiet evenings. Known as The Great Restorer, Aw'ilix brings rest to all life in Kinohtala. She has two children: the two twin moons named Aguiláa and Xbaque who represent birth and death respectively. Aw'ilix, meanwhile, represents the night as a whole.
Aw'ilix is depicted as a Wild Garra but with six legs instead of four, and bearing with long saber teeth. Her essence is said to rise from the core of the earth, wrestling the energy produced from the day and settling it down. When the night spreads, Aw'ilix's work is underway, with her children watching over the people of Kinohtala in her stead.
The energy she subdues appear under the earth as Luum Crystals (see: story page) which inherently this suppressed energy and makes it more streamlined.

Wi'ij Plant - a carnivorous plant that has a symbiotic relationship with the Veneno frog. While the frog spends time in the Wi'ij's mouth, the plant will not eat the frog.
