Iksars are a physically imposing race. Their tall, broad, scaly forms and powerful sweeping tails have brought fear to many armies of Norrath's past. The skin of an iksar is covered with scales nearly as thick as a layer of chain mail. Their scaled broad snout opens to reveal a maw of razor-sharp teeth, and their eyes are hypnotic and fiendish. The iksar seem dressed for battle on every occasion, their armor dark to aid them in movements through the night and shadows.. |

Appearance
The Iksar are a tall, imposing race. They are broad, strong, and covered in scaled thick skin. An Iksar's powerful tail just adds to their overall dominating appearance. Skin is dark to hide their movements in the night. Their snout rounds off and contains razor sharp teeth. Some have a dark crest atop their head. The overall appearance is that of fear and dread. No doubt this has helped the Iksar become such feared opponents.
Demeanor
The Iksar are extremely egotistical. They even posses a hatred towards all other races. Arrogance and a quick temper are common amoung all Ikars. They distrust most other races. You'll often find them watching your every move. Its hard to catch one off guard.
To befriend an Iksar is a daunting task. Only through proving yourself in combat can you be worthy of their attention.
Background
The Iksar are a tall reptilian race created by Cazic-Thule. Their major sphere of influence has always been on the continent of Kunark, where they have long been one of the primary cultures. The Iksar have a rich but painful heritage. At one time, their Sebilisian Empire controlled Kunark with a fierceness and utter dominance comparable to that of the original Rallosian Empire on Antonica. Though they ruled Kunark with a might challenged only by the dragons themselves, the Iksar have also undergone long periods of enslavement and humiliation. This history has caused the race to despise outsiders and depend only on each other for strength. The architecture and design of the Iksar is exemplified in Sebilis, Cabilis, and the City of Mist, revealing a penchant for dojo-like structures and minimalist design. As a race, the Iksar exemplify perhaps the purest form of evil on Norrath. Rather than wallowing in pettiness and corruption, Iksar embody orderly, direct wickedness. They do not hide their intentions or practice subterfuge; they hate everyone openly and equally.
Faith
In the past On Kunark, the Iksar fanatically worshiped their creator, Cazic-Thule. Their culture is based on Cazic-Thule's teachings of Fear. However since being cut off from their home continent, there has been a growing number of Iksar that feel abandoned by their diety. They feel their creator has turned his back on them so they have turned their back on their creator.
Recent History
The Iksar, a very disagreeable race, are quite unhappy about their being forced to take refuge in Freeport. They have absolutely no desire to live with “soft-skinned humans”, yet agree to abide by the will of the Overlord. They are consistantly looking out for an opportunity to humiliate a lesser race, hoping to make the lives of those around them more detestable than their own. |
