Urodelans

Urodelans
The Urodelans are known as “Newts” and resemble the appearance of Salamanders. These are the warriors among the Batrachans. Acting as scouts and defensive patrols for their people and large armies. They prefer much the same territories as the Froggans and the two sub-races of “Sauros” are never seen far apart from each other when gathered in groups or their riverside towns.

History
The Urodelans or "Newts" are the defense force of the Batrachan sub-race. They excel at being unobtrusive, they seem to just step out of the shadows, a crack in the wall, or out from behind a pole, during the most inopportune moments for evildoers. Once the "Newts" were able to resettle to the North and South of their original homeland they moved towards working in constabulary jobs. They became market patrolmen, city guards, merchant caravan guards, town guards, body guards, and a number of other career paths connected to protecting and defending.

There is little difference between the Northern and Southern "Newts", other than their preference for the shades of color in their clothing. The Southern "Newts" will tend towards brighter and more varied shades of green, mixing in bright yellows, blue, reds, and oranges. The Northern "Newts" will tend towards vivid greens, varied shades of brown, and duller yellows than the Southern "Newts". The only other difference between the two branches of the "Newts" is their weapons preferences. The Northern "Newts" have a tendency to utilizes poleaxes, dual-wielded short swords or throwing axes. The Southern "Newts" tend towards bo-staffs, panabas swords, and khukri blades. Both "Newts" have found that their skills could be utilized to remove people that needed to be removed.
