An amoral deity, Semuanya is concerned with little beyond the survival of his chosen race, the [[lizardfolk]].  Other concerns are simply irrelevant to the deity, and seen as little-to-no import.  As a result of this, Semuanya rarely interacts with other deities, and has no appreciable allies or enemies amongst the divine ranks.  Even [[Sess'innek]] is of little concern to Semuanya, despite his distortions of Semuanya's people, the [[lizard king]]s.

For those of Semuanya's faith, the first concern above all is the safety and well-being of the tribe, and of those individuals that make up the tribe.  Her goals are aptly summarized in the main dogma of the belief: "Survive.  Adapt.  Thrive."  Unlike Sess'innek, who favors blatant expansion, Semuanya pushes for more metered growth; while expansion is certainly necessary at times, even violent expansion, it should be done only as necessary, for every time a lizardfolk is killed, it makes the tribe that much weaker. 


Shamans of Semuanya act similarly to the deity himself, counseling general seclusion if not outright xenophobia, and recommending all focus be on the continued survival and propogation of the lizardfolk. Semuanya's shamans, following this belief, must breed once a season, and in fact lose one level per month when they grow or become infertile. Many of his followers commit ritual suicide at this point, rather than continue on in a state unable to contribute to the growth of the race.

An amoral deity, Semuanya is concerned with little beyond the survival of her chosen people, the lizardfolk. Other concerns are simply irrelevant to the deity, and seen as little-to-no import. As a result of this, Semuanya rarely interacts with other deities, and has no appreciable allies or enemies amongst the divine ranks. Even Sess'innek is of little concern to Semuanya, despite his distortions of Semuanya's people, the lizard kings.

For those of Semuanya's faith, the first concern above all is the safety and well-being of the tribe, and of those individuals that make up the tribe. Her goals are aptly summarized in the main dogma of the belief: "Survive. Adapt. Thrive." Unlike Sess'innek, who favors blatant expansion, Semuanya pushes for more metered growth; while expansion is certainly necessary at times, even violent expansion, it should be done only as necessary, for every time a lizardfolk is killed, it makes the tribe that much weaker.
