Vanliorns are pale, reptilian humanoids who inhabit The Other, the Realm of Shadow. Unlike lizardfolk, half-dragons, and dragonborn, vanliorns do not owe their existence to a draconic bloodline.

Black Glass Mountain. While Vanliorn can be found at all corners of The Other, many reside within the Black Glass Mountain Citadel in the Shores of Despair.

Vivisectors are vile sorcerers who draw their powers from the residual necromantic energies that pervade The Other. Most are driven mad by their own innate abilities.
