Introduction
Rolaan are a reptilian race with a penchant for living underground
Essential Elements
Like the abilities list on the species template, this gives a rundown of key points every player must consider.
Names
Rolaan, by nature of their biology, cannot pronounce P, B, M, or V sounds. They have a sound very much like an “F” but otherwise they have no qualms with pronunciation. Rolaan names follow a “NAME ChildOfName” format. The “ChildOf” prefix in this case being “Fi-” and the second name belonging to the parent that either A: had more prestige or B: Lay an uncontested claim to the child. Rolaan names, due to their language consisting of trilling sounds, tend to be short and to the point.
