 The
Slann are the last of a dwindling race that has
existed
for countless thousands of years. They were the favoured
servants of the Old Ones and traveled across the
stars
alongside the Slann's god-like masters. Favoured for
their considerable intelligence and magical abilities,
they now rule the
Lizardmen as a caste of Mage-Priests.
Large, unearthly creatures, the Slann are quite unlike
anything else in the world. Their heads are large to
match the mighty intellect held within, and their eyes
are bulbous and all-seeing. They can live for thousands
of years, and their bodies become more bloated with
the passing centuries. They perceive time differently
to the short-lived mortal creatures of the world and
slip into extended periods of contemplation and thought
that can last decades or even centuries at a time.
Endlessly, they ponder the meaning of time and the mysteries
of the universe. To their attendants, they often appear
to be in a sleep-like trance with signs of life limited
to the occasional blink, yet the Slann are more truly
aware of the magnitude of the universe than any other
being in the world. When the Slann stir from their meditative
states, they often declare an enigmatic prophecy or
proclamation that Skink attendants dutifully attempt
to record. Often, these statements require careful study
and interpretation, and the true meaning may not become
apparent for a thousand years
or more.
A Slann Mage-Priest may be included in your Lizardmen
army as a Lord choice.
