 ===== Appearance =====
-Condense species page appearance down for this section, with colourations and occurrence. Be sure to note obvious signifiers and fashions and other such commonalities.
+Rolaan, of course, are a reptilian species. They have scales, claws, and cold blood. They all have horns and scale flares on their cheeks. Rolaan born in warmer climates have their horns grow downwards, and rolaan born in colder ones have their horns grow upwards.
+Rolaan come in three main varieties. All Rolaan scales are smooth and polished to the touch, but the specific colouration differs between them. For the most part, there are key tones on the body with patches of bright colouration around the face. Rolaan stomachs and inner legs are brighter coloured than the rest of their body, and males have the brighter of the two sexes. For the most part, they sit around 4 feet tall with 1 foot of variance (tending towards smaller) and weigh between 110 and 160 lbs.
+  * **Arboreal** Rolaan are the most common type, and are grassy or earthen toned, suited towards living in a green environment. Greens, grays, browns, and the like are the most common palettes.
+  * **Desert** Rolaan are rock and sand toned, moving from sandy browns to igneous black. They have a much longer and thinner tail than their counterparts, and much more able to use the tail to their advantage. They also have broader and flatter claws.
+  * **Polar** Rolaan are very rare to encounter, and are predominantly white with some very faint and dull blues. It is not unheard of to have ones with pastel-type shades of other colours. They're a foot taller on average, thicker-bodied, and their scales are more coarse. But, they tend to have the best magical reserves.
+==== Fashion ====
+Rolaan fashion is supremely dictated by their bands first and foremost. Below is the relevant excerpt from the culture page.
+<blockquote>
+The most important element of any Rolaan is their band. The individual chooses where it wraps around, from neck to arm to wrist to leg, and so on, but every Rolaan needs one. So naturally, a lot of care and detail goes into crafting the bands and decorating them thereafter. The purer the metals, the more effective and higher-class the band is. Oftentimes, solid platinum bands are the surest symbols of wealth and power among the Rolaan, but other metals of high purity are regarded just as highly.
+Given their poor vision, a lot of attention on rolaan fabrics is less on colour (As in, no coordination on colour) and more on texture and patterning. The band's placement on a Rolaan body is chosen during a specific ceremony, allowing their custom band for adulthood to be set anywhere on their body - but once it's on, it tends to be on the rest of their life. Breeches and shorts are common items of apparel, since they offer pockets and covering without restricting mobility. They tend to wear looser things up top with lots of pockets to carry the things they find - pocket ponchos, capes, and shawls very popular items among the rolaan, although they don't always wear clothes up top.
+Wealthier Rolaan would tailor their clothes so that all attention and focus of their outfits is on their bands. Additionally, they love embedding small gemstones into their scales, or removing a scale and placing a flat gem in the place of that.
