Tegokka

"When I told them the orcish warband was coming their way, all the gecko people did was shrug and go back to their music, their games and their ale. When I gave them proof of orcish movements in the east, they continued to do nothing other than drink and play. When I left them to die, I didn't expect to return to a lively village, nor did I expect them to be drinking and partying with a couple of orcish soldiers."

— Maximillion Craythorn, The Forest Alcoholics

The tegokka are a simple people with simple needs and simple pleasures. They party, they drink, and they play. Anything else is entirely dependant on their mood.

Nimble and Bright With their small stature and bright skin, tegokka are a sight to see. Their beady eyes and long tails only add to their unusual charm, although nearly every tegokka can be seen with a smile on their face. Their skin is almost always a bright colour, often green, yellow, or orange, but it isn't uncommon to have tegokka that are red, blue, or even purple or white. No matter their colour, all tegokka treat each other equally, and none of them go without or are divided because of their skin colour. Naturally optimistic and relaxed, the tegokka take one problem on a time, and don't bother worrying about things that they can't change or control. Who are they to tell the river not to flood, or the wind not to blow, or the fire not to crackle?

A Natural Charm The simple lifestyle and abundant optimism of the tegokka naturally appeals to many different types of people. While it's unlikely that you'll find anything other than tegokka in a tegokkan village, it isn't impossible to spot the occasional traveller enjoying their company, or a scouting party or military party enjoying a drink and a game of cards. Those who visit a tegokkan village can often find it hard to leave, due to the flowing alchohol and abundant friendship and games. Those who stay with the tegokkan for a long period of time often adopt their lifestyle and beliefs.
