Wellspring Tribe

"Note: This is player-created lore. Ping @trebby on the Discord if you have questions."The Wellspring Tribe is a somewhat secretive and isolated tribe of lizardfolk.

Sacred Shrine
The tribe's way of life centers around a large stone shrine used to incubate eggs. They believe the shrine to have been created by an ancient gold dragon in order to create a group of lizardfolk that the dragon could visit over and over again, with centuries-long gaps, and still see familiar faces.

Shaping the Community
The shrine carries powerful soul magic that reshapes the lizardfolk eggs placed within it to make each of them perfectly suited to a job in the community. Each tribe member takes their name from this job, although the names are specifically translated into Common while the tribe mostly speaks Draconic.

The shrine is capable of shaping both body and mind, such that a lizardfolk named Scout might have a dolphin-shaped tail to better travel long distances, and a lizardfolk named Speaker might be particularly charismatic.

Beyond this, the shrine ensures that every lizardfolk in the tribe is loyal to the community itself, friendly with one another, and generally experiences more emotion than is often typical of lizardfolk.

Cycle of Souls
The members of the tribe believe the shrine cycles the same souls through the eggs, such that every Weaver is a reincarnation of the previous Weaver, and so on. This is difficult to prove or disprove, as memories don't seem to transfer, and the shrine reshapes the personalities involved.

Dangerous Knowledge
The tribe goes to great lengths to prevent outsiders from learning of the shrine or its properties, particularly wary of what Kairos might do with the knowledge.
