It is inhabited by two species of lizardmen.
  
-C’tis is a swampy river valley surrounded by sandy deserts. In the fertile valley a sacral kingdom of lizard-like humanoidshas formed. The kingdom is ancient by human standards and its wisdom and magical knowledge is great. At the top of the society is the Lizard King and his Royal Heirs. The king is the highest priest of C’tis. Under the king are the High Priests with their sacred serpents and the enigmatic Sauromancers, great mages of death and rebirth. The lizards are herbivores, but have enslaved a race of carnivorous lizardmen who serve as soldiers and workers. The C’tissians are somewhat slow in movement, but have thick hides that protect them from cuts and bruises. Both lizard races are cold-blooded and become exhausted very quickly when fighting in cold provinces. They have partial resistance to poison. The inhabitants of C’tis prefer to live in warm provinces.+C’tis is a swampy river valley surrounded by sandy deserts. In the fertile valley a sacred kingdom of lizard-like humanoids has formed.

Construction Level 4 makes it **{{path>N3}}**. Alternatively, your {{path>S1N1}} ??Shaman??s can summon an {{path>S3N3}} ??Couatl?? at Conjuration Level 7, who can in-turn bring you up to **{{path>N4}}** at Construction Level 6You can then outfit an {{path>N3}} ??Ivy King?? with your Construction Level 6 boosters to acquire **{{path>N5}}**, giving you one last booster to get you all the way up to **{{path>N6}}**; if you have the [[Gems]], of course.
  
-==== Magic Access ====+Astral starts at Level **1**, but Couatls bring you up to **{{path>S3}}** at Conjuration Level 7; their inability to wear helmets prevents them from wearing their own booster items, but they can bring your other guys to **{{path>S2}}** at Construction Level 6.

 +C'tis has depth, which is very nice, but it runs into a couple of cross-path issues. It doesn't have a lot of {{path>S1D1}}'s, so Death [[Communions]] will be costly. It also doesn't have the paths necessary to cast ??Foul Vapors?? without a ??Thistle Mace?? or a good deal of luck with a 10% random, though an expensive option is better than no option at all.

 +**Earth** (specifically **{{path>E1}}**) is found on roughly half of all ??Spectral Mage??s summoned at Conjuration Level 6, without any need for boosters. 
 + 
 +That leaves **Fire** and **Blood**. Fire can be found by equipping a 1-in-16 {{path>E2}} Spectral Mage with ??Earth Boots?? (Construction Level 4) and casting ??Hidden in Sand?? (Enchantment Level 6) for a good chance of a ??Dust Priest?? with the magic you want; it's quite expensive, but it's an option. Blood requires running the full gauntlet of Nature described above, giving the ??Treelord's Staff?? and the ??Moonvine Bracelet?? to a {{path>N2}} Sauromancer, and having them contact a ??Lamia Queen?? for a roughly-50% chance of at least {{path>B1}}. Empowering an {{path>E1}} to {{path>E2}} will most-likely be cheaper than repeatedly rolling for the correct paths, while empowering the {{path>N2}} Sauromancer to {{path>N3}} will let you save {{gems>25N}} if you're not planning on attaining {{path>N6}}.
