Saurial Saurials are a rare breed of Scalykind - specifically a Sauroid race descended from dinosaur - like creatures - not native to Toril . Several sub - races exist , though only four can be found on Toril itself . Unlike reptiles , Saurials are not cold - blooded . They were brought to Toril by Moander to a place called the Lost Vale , an area hidden somewhere near the Dalelands so that they could be used as Moander ' s slaves to corrupt and destroy the plants and animals in the area in an effort to regain his previous divinity . The plan failed when Finder Wyvernspur , Dragonbait , and Alias defeated Moander , freeing the saurials from their slavery . Elminster convinced the saurials to restore what Moander had forced them to destroy and the Lost Vale was turned into a permanent settlement as a result . A second set of these creatures exist in the southern Jungles of Kara - Tur , and are known as the Lacerials . This group was introduced in the " Malatra Living Jungle " setting by the RPGA network , to go along with their " Living City " Campaign based in " Raven ' s Bluff " . These creatures are identical to the Saurials of Faerûn , but at the time the RPGA was not allowed to use the term ' Saurial ' . Language .

Other creatures can interpret some of the common stronger scents to understand the creature ' s mood : brimstone means confusion , roses mean sadness , lemons mean pleasure or joy , baked bread means anger , violets mean danger or fear , honeysuckle means tenderness , wood smoke means devotion or piety , tar means victory , and ham means nervousness or worry . Culture . Most saurials are spiritual and worship either Finder , Chauntea , Tymora or Tyr , as Finder is their patron and rescuer , while the other three reflect aspects of their ancestral gods . Their sub - races treat each other equally and with respect , using the natural talents of each to maximum effect but because none of them can interbreed , most households only contain one sub - race . Mates and siblings share much stronger bonds than other humanoids , protecting each other from harm however they can . They easily make friends and only rarely make enemies , though if there is obvious danger , they are quick to respond . Their homeworld has magic , both arcane and divine . It helps that their natural attributes aid them in their pursuit of the Art and the Power .
