Loqans are one of two species that evolved on the planet Kevlo out in the Vast. Reptilian in appearance, loqans are humanoids with clawed hands, turtle-like beaks, and plantigrade feet. The fine scales that cover their dense bodies shimmer in the light beyond their misty homes. Loqan have frilled skin flaps that resemble a baroque collar when relaxed but can be raised and lowered using specialized muscles in a display that tends to startle most creatures when performed suddenly. Loqan scales are generally green but range in color from brown, turquoise, and teal to gray, sandy yellow, and black.

Kevlo’s surface is shrouded in thick mists saturated in magical energy that warp and disrupt electric currents. To better their societies, loqans and the kevris with whom they share the planet agreed to construct a shield that would concentrate the mists close to the surface. This shield allowed kevris to build a technological paradise above the mists while loqans lived in a world of magic within them. The kevris’ shield protects the loqan from the flying behemoths that threatened their early ancestors, while loqan provide kevri society with necessary resources from the planet’s surface. This arrangement led to loqan architecture and engineering incorporating plentiful resources like wood and stone while substituting magic where other species might use electrical currents.

Loqans are ruled by a governor whose council consults with their kevri counterparts via proxy, as most loqans choose to remain within the mists. After all, their homes are so saturated in magic that even Triune’s Signal couldn’t reach Kevlo, so why dream of a place beyond Kevlo’s skies where magic is less plentiful?
