Kovalians (Total War)

The Kovalians were an ancient reptilian people that occupied the central Gerudo Desert during the early Ancient Age, from approximately 8500 to 8000 BG. The Kovalian civilization worshiped Kovaloo, the First Sage of Spirits, and mastered the arts of Spirit Magic and Necromancy, before it was destroyed in an unknown cataclysm c. 8000 BG.

History
The Kovalians had a powerful civilization dating back to long before the Ancient Age, little records of knowledge exists of this civilization, however it is know they worshiped the First Sage Kovaloo, whom would use her power to resurrect dead Kovalians and use their spirits to create servants for her. Their civilization had great skill in the art of necromancy because of this and created numerous dark artifacts such as the Goronu. At some time during their civilization the Kovalians consumed and destroyed the environment to such a degree it caused mass desertification. This is likely what caused the collapse and nigh extinction of their civilization at some point during 8000 BG-5000 BG.
