Ancient Rivener

Creature 14 — humanoid, ikeshti

Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.

Ikeshtis who eschew their society are exiled and quickly devolve into violent creatures known as riveners. Ikeshtis are reptilian humanoids native to Akiton's wastelands. Smaller than Golarion's iruxi, ikeshtis organize around distinct societal roles.
