Zorathi

Zorathi is a fictional species from the tabletop role-playing game Pathfinder. They are a race of reptilian humanoids characterized by their striped scales, serpentine eyes, and forked tongues. Zorathi are native to the world of Golarion, a planet within the Pathfinder campaign setting. They are known for their connection to the sun and their ancient, often isolationist, societies.

Physically, Zorathi typically stand between five and six feet tall and possess lean, muscular builds. Their scales can vary in color and pattern, but common markings include stripes of yellow, orange, and brown. Many Zorathi exhibit a degree of sexual dimorphism, with males often possessing more pronounced crests or frills. Their culture places a high value on tradition, wisdom, and the observation of celestial bodies, particularly the sun, which they often revere.

Historically, Zorathi have been known to inhabit arid or desert regions, building impressive cities and temples that are designed to harness solar energy. Their society is often structured around a caste system, with priests, scholars, and warriors holding distinct roles. While generally peaceable, Zorathi are capable defenders of their homes and traditions, and their martial prowess is not to be underestimated. In modern Pathfinder lore, Zorathi communities can be found in various parts of Golarion, some integrated into larger societies and others maintaining their secluded ways.
