Change came late in the time that man called the 31st century. Nature had taken long enough to try to repair her horrid mistake. Nothing could save the world from the terror of man save for their destruction. And so she rose up against them, with all her force.
A force that even Mankind could not escape, could not thwart, could not fight. They were destroyed within the century. Disease, famine, war, nothing had prepared them for the fury that was Nature.
And that is where we came in. The Reptilia. We have been given our chance yet again, to prove that this is our purpose. We are not perfect, and thus we have respect for our perfect mother and the world she created for us. It was always us that was meant for the earth, meant to care for her, meant to love her and bring her to her glory.
But Nature's manipulations have given way to something new, a new creature and yet the same. Dangerous to all of us and yet our only chance. This creature pushes us closer to the edge of war and yet the brink of peace lies in its wake. This new creature calls itself only Sauropsida, it claims no alliances, no purpose. It turns us against us and fights beside us when we are threatened.
With its arrival comes fear and suspicion. Rumors spread like wild fire. We know naught what these beings intentions are. Together is the only way to protect ourselves from this creature.
But now, we have become divided. Nature's plans lay stagnant, her manipulations continue as always, but we hinder ourselves now. Lines have been drawn. It seems the cycle is to repeat. War threatens us at each turn, as it once did man. This is the beginning of the end for us. We thus threaten to destroy our own future.
Perhaps there is still hope, perhaps harmony is within our grasp.....Perhaps war grows too near...."

The Crocodilia tend to have hot tempers, that they never learn to control. There are individuals who defy the normalcy of the anger that seethes in there brethren but they are rare. [The Evil]
The Testudines tend to grow wise very quickly and a temper is not something they ever acquire. There are those of this kingdom that tend to have a free spirit, but the wisdom of their genes runs beneath the surface. [Beyond Good and Evil, if anything they are the Quintessential Neutrals of the land.]
The Squamata often find themselves dancing a line. Their hot tempers and utter calm are often in a constant struggle for balance. Whichever side of the line they tend to land on more often the other side could always lure them back. [The Neutral]
The Sphenodontia are the gentlest of them all. Their hearts run pure and strong and are incorruptible. [The Good]
The Sauropsida are creatures with talents no being has ever known before. No alliance holds its heart, nor its physical appearance....[See Rules For More Information]
Of course individuality is unavoidable....
It is now the year 209 A.H. and the Reptilia have grown to be the dominant taxon of the entire planet. Though most live in harmony with Nature's other creatures, there are those that tend to disrupt the balance and claim more than they should. Thus the war that threatens.
