Semuanya Semuanya was the lizardfolk deity of survival and propagation . Description . Semuanya appeared as an outsized lizard man , strong and agile in both body and mind . He wore only a loincloth and sometimes armor . He wielded a club studded with razor - sharp fragments of shells . He never spoke except when necessary . Personality & Dogma . Semuanya focused entirely on matters of survival and propagation , and nothing else . He taught his followers that any deed done in pursuit of these ends was good , and that any other action that was not was irrelevant and not even worth the effort . He encouraged them to reproduce , to live long lives , and to guarantee the safety of themselves and of their race . Neither good nor evil , nor lawful not chaotic , Semuanya was utterly amoral , uncaring , and unfeeling . He didn ' t even care much for the struggles of his own lizardfolk worshipers , let alone the issues of other beings , dismissing most of these as irrelevant to his greater concerns . He would not even send omens to his shamans . He would only intervene or send an avatar when a major crisis threatened lizardfolk communities on a massive scale , such as in the event of climate change or a major invasion of hostile forces . Very rarely would he make an appearance in anything less . Abilities . An avatar of Semuanya had a thick scaly hide that shrugged off bludgeoning weapons , and was utterly impervious if the weapon wasn ' t magical . Bolt - like spells also had a tendency to bounce off his body , and he was highly resistant to illusion magic . He could regenerate wounds taken or body parts lost . He could command all lizard s and summon minotaur lizard s to his aid . Activities . The purpose of Semuanya ' s existence was simply to exist . History . Semuanya was originally created as a fragment of the World Serpent , as was the original god of the lizardfolk , Essylliss . However , worship of Semuanya didn ' t take off until after Essylliss ' s decline around −31 , 500 DR , some two millennia after the fall of sarrukh - ruled Mhairshaulk . The divided factions of lizardfolk began to worship Semuanya , who represented the instinct to survive . Thereafter , the lizardfolk embraced Semuanya and Essylliss was almost forgotten . Relationships . Semuanya ' s uncaring nature meant that he was left alone by almost all other deities and thus had no allies and only one enemy of note . This enemy was the tanar ' ri lord Sess ' innek , who sought the dominion and corruption of lizardfolk , but no record existed of the two coming into conflict in any way , despite the archfiend ' s continual and increasing intrusion into Semuanya ' s business . However , Semuanya might eventually feel compelled to act against the demon . Worshipers . Semuanya was worshiped by the vast majority of lizardfolk in Faerûn , with particular centers of his faith in the serpentfolk kingdom of Najara ( where he was followed by the lizardfolk and muckdwellers ) and in the lizardfolk - ruled city of Surkh . He was also commonly followed by free asabi in Anauroch , after they met a lizardfolk cleric of Semuanya and adopted the faith . Semuanya ' s priest s were all tribal shaman s who had little care for any concerns outside of their tribe and had no organized religion . In their tribes , they served as carers , healers , and medicine - men , and even as tribal leaders . Like their god , they were typically untalkative . They called for their kin to avoid contact with all other races , and even to limit contact with other lizardfolk tribes , except for the purposes of breeding outside tribe . Shamans were urged to breed every season ; if ever they became infertile , they declined over a period of months and most eventually performed ritual suicide . Semuanya ' s favored weapon for his followers was the club . A lizardfolk cleric who cast " weapon of the deity " would receive a " + 1 screaming club " . The lizardfolk of the Vast Swamp brewed a potent paralytic poison they said was sacred to Semuanya and not to be shared with outsiders . Semuanya ' s shamans were opposed by the followers of Sess ' innek , who tried to slay them on sight . Appendix . Notes . For 3 . 5 edition , in " Complete Divine " , page 124 , Semuanya is listed as having the lizardfolk portfolio , a greatclub favored weapon , and the Water domain . This is contradicted by " Serpent Kingdoms " pages 188 and 187 , where Semuanya is listed as having the survival and propagation portfolios ( and the lizardfolk portfolio is held by Essyllis ) , a club favored weapon , and no Water domain . As " Serpent Kingdoms " was published later and is a " Forgotten Realms " source , it takes precedence , while the " Complete Divine " details are assumed to be core - only and are neglected . Furthermore , the " Complete Divine " details contradict information from previous editions .
