Ksathasa

by Terry Hawkins

Ksathasa has been terraformed into a tropical greenhouse by the Lizard Men. Ice-asteroids hauled in from the outer zones soon formed the warm lakes that the Lizard Men love to swim in. Some mining of the moon is done, but mostly the Lizard Men trade reptile eggs produced by the many species of giant lizards and snakes they brought with them. The society is ruled by Lizard Kings, but these are of Neutral alignment and do not require sacrifices. Their are a large number of priests and mages among the population. One temple is dedicated to Athskssth, an elder serpent (see Snake entry in the MM, p321) that is revered as a demi-god. Her wisdom has benefited the Ksathasa nation many times in the past, but she communicates only through her lizard men priests. Lizard Man mages often have winged snakes (MM, p322)as familiars.
