	[[Ranalon Lore\|Ranalon]] are an [[Fish and Snail Anatomy\|amphibian]] race with a vastly different worldview and culture than the rest of the species on [[Alharth]]. Ranalon have very short lifespans, with old age reached after 200 moon-cycles (about 6000 days). Despite this biological limitation, Ranalon have an established culture, skills, and unique magics they use to thrive wherever they are. The key to their perseverance is an extreme genetic memory, with Ranalon eggs inheriting the complete memories and skills of their mothers and partial memories of their male parent. A Ranalon mother may create over a hundred eggs in her lifetime. The ultimate goal of the Ranalon race is to thrive as a species, and their proliferation is supported by the god [[Enoyos]] who views them as part of his plan to flood the entire world. He has been known to transport their eggs inland using waterspouts, and this is likely how the [[Ranalon]] entrenched themselves in parts of eastern [[Alharth]] such as [[Serbule Hills]] and [[Povus]].
