Ss'ressen are lizard-men and a major component of the Sstheeregore Empire. This empire consists of many races, many of them serpentine. They are the oldest civilized group on the continent of Onara, and at one point had conquered most of it. They are well known for their strange magics and were responsible for the creation of the elorii. Originally, they worshipped the gods Kassegore and Yig, but with the rise of the Naga to a ruling position, they now worship gods known as the Varn.
