Apes

The apes used to be the slaves of the Lizards, but the lizard society was marked by a vicious rivalry between the magician and the warrior caste. This power struggle eventually resulted in a bitter civil war. Distracted by the countless fights, the lizards failed to see the unrest that brewed among their simian slaves, the apes. The apes started a revolt to free their race, and the lizards, who were already weakened by the constant battles among their own kind, were quickly overcome by the raging apes. The few who survived fled their temple city and sought refuge in the wilderness of the jungle.
