Now lacking the guidence of the Old Ones, they began to develop in their own fashion. Humanity, the Old Ones' newest and most vulnerable progeny, were left to learn from contact with the other older races, remembering virtually nothing of the Old Ones. In Lustria the cities and temples of the Old Ones gradually decayed and became overgrown by the relentless jungle.

The Slann

Although the Old Ones were gone, the lands of Lustria were not left competely unihabited, fot the Old Ones had not come to the world alone. They had brought with them their slaves and servants, creatures whose minds and bodies the Old Ones had found useful. Of these, the most intelligent were the Slann. These were the organisers, architects and techno-mages who had built the cities to the design of their masters. They had also shaped the world itself as commanded by the Old Ones. It was the Slann who built the polar portals and their magic had maintained them until the catasrophe. The Slann had even changed the original orbit of the world to bring it closer to the sun. In doing this they warmed the atmosphere and caused the continents to tear apart and drift to create the seas and lands of the world today. It was because the Slann were second only to the Old Ones themselves in wisdom and understanding that they were able to do these things.

Primaeval Reptiles

The Old Ones bred other reptilian creatures as workers, warriors and beasts of burden. Gigantic Kroxigor were bred to be tall and powerful construction slaves able to lift and carry massive blocks of stone for building the high temple pyramids. Other creatures which had lived in the jungles of Lustria since the dawn of time were tamed and put to use, such as Cold Ones as fast mounts for the Skinks to ride into battle and the flying Terradons that enables Skinks messengers and scout to glide over impenetrable jungle, swamp and mountains from one pyramid temple to another. Huge monsters like the dreaded Stegadons were harnessed to carry heavy burdens for many miles, crashing through dense undergrowth dragging gigantic boulders behind them or felling the tall trees of the rain forest with there horns and tusks to make clearings for new temples and cities.
