Ìqáalìe

The Ìqáalìe originated from the Archipelago, along with Tritons, Locathah, and Loxodon. The Ìqáalìe, or Lizardfolk in the common-tongue, were the most reclusive of the four, developing their own culture fully before interacting much with other races. Along with all the races in the Archipelago, they have existed since the 1st Age.
