Country Name: Essoka
Map Color: green
Inhabitants: Essok - Hexapedal reptiles whose middle limbs are more delicate manipulators and whose other four are strong and tipped in sharp, broad claws. With large ears and catfish-like whiskers on their muzzles, their senses make up for the species' lack of eyes. They tend to walk on all fours, and converse with others on their hind legs. A thick, semi-prehensile tail lends well to balance and swimming.
Government Style: Matriarchal

Culture: Siding with the Hiigaran, the Essok sealed their place in history as the nightmare race. The evil spirits, who would come up from underneath to kill and kidnap. When the winter descended, the Essok walled themselves within the earth and hid away from the world. The cataclysmic upheval of the meteor strike reduced the ground-dwelling race to a single large clan, huddled in what remained of their mountains, greiving for the loss of their culture and the guilt on their shoulders for the ruin of the world. They are more secretive now then they were in the ancient days, dwelling underground and only venturing above for the utmost necesseties.

They've become monsters of near-legend, hidden away from the world. Travelers avoid the cluster of mountains as a place of horrors.
