Thargon

General Information and Appearance
Thargons are a robust and adaptable people that hold their home in the swampy north-eastern continent of Hlomark. They usually stand at 5'9-6'4ft and weigh between 180-240lb. Females are around the same size as the males but slimmer. Thargons live to be between 240-290 years old. Thargons live on a continent that is mainly filled with swamp areas and marsh. Due to this they have become a highly adaptable race capable of surviving in most environments, both hot and cold. Their capitol city is Drynmor and it covers a large swamp area that hold the Thargons large population.

Personality
Thargons are calm, approaching and usually maintain a nice tone when they address people of any race. However, should you anger a Thargon or have him lose respect for you he will not hesitate to use any means to get revenge for what you did. This could be dishonoring him, insulting his heritage or anything of the likes. They share a similar love for nature as Thylvari do, but not as extreme or connected spiritually and physically. Most Thargons stay on their own continent due to their love of the swamp and marsh. However those Thargons that do travel do it mostly for personal interests.

Alignment
Thargons shift towards the lawful neutral alignment. They believe greatly in the rules of their own land and will hold to them with their heart. They are however indifferent in whether the rules are seen upon as good or evil. Thargons also believe that when it comes to affairs with other races they should stay as neutral as positive in order to gain a clear viewpoint.

Deity
Thargons believe in Rymhon, the great god of order and perseverance. Rymhon is the only great god with no known children and he is also one of the deities most sighted in physical form on the continent of Hlomark. Thargons that follow Rymhon with their heart are known to be righteous and fair people.

Reproduction and Family
Thargons are the only of the five great races in Altharon who are not mammals. They reproduce by males fertilizing the eggs that females lay. Due to this the children that are born are raised by their mothers. The female lays her eggs on public hatching grounds and random males fertilize them. The Thargons have no sexual desires like the Thylvari and are disgusted by other races for needing such a trivial thing.
