__NOTOC__
[[ProjectGorgon:Ranalon Lore|Ranalon]] are an [[ProjectGorgon:Fish and Snail Anatomy|amphibian]] race with a vastly different worldview and culture than the rest of the species on [[ProjectGorgon:Alharth]]. Ranalon have very short lifespans, with old age reached after 200 moon-cycles (about 6000 days). Despite this biological limitation, Ranalon have an established culture, skills, and unique magics they use to thrive wherever they are. The key to their perseverance is an extreme genetic memory, with Ranalon eggs inheriting the complete memories and skills of their mothers and partial memories of their male parent. A Ranalon mother may create over a hundred eggs in her lifetime. The ultimate goal of the Ranalon race is to thrive as a species, and their proliferation is supported by the god [[ProjectGorgon:Enoyos]] who views them as part of his plan to flood the entire world. He has been known to transport their eggs inland using waterspouts, and this is likely how the [[ProjectGorgon:Ranalon]] entrenched themselves in parts of eastern [[ProjectGorgon:Alharth]] such as [[ProjectGorgon:Serbule Hills]] and [[ProjectGorgon:Povus]].

: - Male Ranalons work as hunters and farmers.
: - Meditation is natural for Ranalons.
: - Ranalon often eat fish, and have learned to pickle it.

{{Quote | source = [[ProjectGorgon:Gershok]]|
You may ask your questions. I am no young female, but I still remember many things. What do you wish to know.
; ''' What species are you? '''
I am a 'Ranalon' in your language. We are newcomers to this land, but we have been finding it quite accommodating. You should expect to see more of us in the future.
; ''' Are Ranalons... friendly?'''
That depends on the Ranalon, of course. But to answer the question you are trying to ask: Ranalons do not want peace with humans or elves. Nor do we want war. We don't care about other races that much. We will simply displace them, like we have done on other continents.
; ''' Displace them?'''
In the distant land of [[ProjectGorgon:Yenor]], humans live only in special area we have set aside for them. They were fierce warriors, but Ranalon breed much faster. Ultimately we chose to keep a stable population of humans alive because of the beneficial effect on the local flora.
; ''' And you plan to overrun this land, too? '''
We do not 'plan' an invasion or anything of the sort. We simply move in and lay our eggs. Each mother can lay a hundred eggs in her lifetime. In a few cycles, the lake nearby will be so teeming with Ranalons that we will need to spread out again. In the longer picture, we will be the only dominant species. It is just superior biology. We do not hate you.
; ''' Well, this country has powerful wizards protecting it.'''
Then perhaps the Ranalons will not take this land. I do not know or care -- it will happen long after I have died anyway...

Have I mentioned that the final test for a legling mage here is to create a working Enoyos talisman?
