| - | The Clan of Stone died out long ago, but many shoag still believe that they live on somewhere in the high mountains of the land to the south. There were rumors that the Stone Clan attacked an [[atlas:Irill|Irillian]] Legion north of the [[atlas:Caragan Sea]], but the scholars who have visted the site believe it was an [[creatures:Elf|Elven]] ambush and not an ancient reptilian race. | + | The Clan of Stone died out long ago, but many shoag still believe that they live on somewhere in the high mountains.

| The shoag know that the Stone Clan were larger than them, standing nearly 12 feet tall when fully upright. Their heads were larger with a more prominent snout and jawline. Unlike the shoag they preferred walking on all fours, except when running. Finally the Stone Clan were able to command stone and earth using only their will, an ability not seen in any other shaktar species. | The shoag know that the Stone Clan were larger than them, standing nearly 12 feet tall when fully upright.

| The shaktar actually represents a large grouping of species that all descend from a common ancestor. This common ancestor is believed to be the Ancients, but that could be simply myth. The various species of shaktar typically gather in mono-species populations have have each developed their own distinct culture. The shaktar themselves refer to each of these cultures as the clans as they see themselves as one. Each clan has very little interaction with other clans, instead pursuing their own ends. | The shaktar actually represents a large grouping of species that all descend from a common ancestor.

| - | The shoag are the most numerous of the shaktar and given what few pictorial representations appear the ones that most resemble their ancestry. They stand over six feet tall with powerful muscles and a thick tail. Their head is human-shaped except for a large protruding snout and a jawline filled with sharp teeth. Covered with nearly uniform sized scales on front and back they appear as a giant man-lizard. | + | The [[creatures:shoag]] are the most numerous of the shaktar and given what few pictorial representations appear the ones that most resemble their ancestry.

| - | It is believed that the Marlot died out before the [[lore:Age of Empires]] began. The only possible sighting since that time was an ambush of an [[atlas:Irill|Irillian]] legion by scaly creatures that appeared to rise from the nearby stones. Several scholars have visited the site of the attack and none have found any evidence of the Marlot. They are presumed to have died out. | + | It is believed that the [[creatures:Marlot]] died out before the [[lore:Age of Empires]] began.

| - | The Zeti, known to other shaktar as the Clan of the Sun, are the least like the others. They are the smallest and least intelligent of the shaktar, rarely forming any social bonds besides small male harems during the breeding season. While they are capable of using tools, they have never developed anything beyond simple stone and wood tools that they use for hunting. Regardless their hunting packs are devastating to even the most disciplined soldiers as they are skilled a both ambush and hit and run raiding. | + | The [[creatures:Zeti]], known to other shaktar as the Clan of the Sun, are the least like the others.
