Melasorm (5e Race)

Melasorm

History

Constant war and combat of these people, staining their desert lands with their blood, transforming them, from yellow sands to crimson dunes. The viscous ichor flowing throughout out the narrow veins of these serpents being spilt each dawn and dusk, the scaled flesh of these men and women becoming rended and torn.

Society

The Melasorm society is split in between many nations and tribes of their desert home, but one thing is always constant. Combat. Whether it be sieging their enemies, standing their ground with vigor, or fighting within combat pits, the Melasorm culture is hellbent on combat. Melasorm are rare to see outside of their home island of Kurr'Lamaria, meaning "Earthen Pearl", but sometimes they are hired for mercenary work, gaurd positions, or even gambling fight pits.

Melasorm Names
