Homebrew Sobek Species Details
The Sobek are a humanoid-crocodile species, which are home to rivers, swamps and the sea. They are aggressive creatures, thirsting for blood and born to kill. They have mastered their kind of combat on land and are even deadlier in water, lurking at their prey. Pillaging and raiding towns around rivers, lakes and swamps, they became wealthy and more advanced, by enslaving poor villagers.
Sobeks normaly live in medium sized towns around bodys of water. They've established an authoritarian society with many different jobs, ranging from fisher to blacksmith. There are some scholars and educated Sobeks, but they have rather few prestige and mostly live outside of towns or in large non-sobek cities. To earn high prestige in that kind of society needs you to become a warrior or even better a warlord.
Due to male and female Sobeks not being to different physically speaking, there isn't to much segregation between the genders. But females aren't as violent as male Sobeks, which is still pretty brutal. But because of that most scholars and educated Sobeks are female.
