The Pitspawn are a race born from the ashes of an event commonly referred to as the Starfall, the bloody last stand of the war god Itos that not only led to his death, but to the death of almost every major god who opposed him.
One of those gods was Ataru, god of the sea and forefather of dragons, and when his corpse was cast down from the realm of the gods, it brought a cataclysm that laid waste to the southern tip of Ygras. Whole cities were lost to earth-shattering, months-long storms that defied modern meteorological explanation.
Those that survived those hellish circumstances were forever changed, the blood of Ataru changing them into amphibious draconic humanoids with a fearsome scaled and chitinous appearance.
