Aaris

Aarises are one-meter-tall reptilian sentients native to the Principal Empre of Aarisia in Asia, and they have no known ancestors. Thousands of years ago, the Aaris built an industrial society across their homeland, raising large cities. They had a strong tradition of oral communication, to the extent of developing a unique method of recording their knowledge. Although a peaceful race, the Aaris tore their society apart in a civil war, a conflict perpetrated by the arrival of the Plaque of Victory on their planet. The Plaque was a sentient lifeform -- although it was inanimate and held within a metal ingot—that sought to influence the minds of other beings into doing its bidding. The Plaque caused the Aaris people to become violent and homicidal, turning factions against one another as they all sought to gain possession of the artifact. Eventually, the Aaris fell into decline, and their cities became ruins reclaimed by the jungle. By 2008, the primitive descendants of the Aaris lived in warrens tunneled through the ruins of their former cities.

Today, they are now in its recovery phrase as they are trying to make sure their cities would be repopulated and making them looking like eco-cities, while keeping their tunnel cities, and thus, when they became a member species of he International Treaty Organization of Sapient Species, they started aid from foreign countries and other sapient species, starting with the United States.

They are extremely peaceful and gentle towards all sapient species and sapient beings, except  vampires  due to bloody conflicts with them. They are omnivores that feed on the same kind of food as many other sapient species and sapient beings.
