Overview
The principal inhabitants of Lustria are the Lizardmen, whose cultural trappings are based upon the Maya, Aztec, Inca and Toltec people. The rain forests of Lustria are full of brightly coloured birds, large reptilian creatures and many poisonous insects that make human habitation difficult.
The other inhabitants are all recent arrivals who have come to Lustria from their homelands in the Old World. Their major settlements are along the Eastern coast, though there is at least one group of immortal women descended from the Norse living in the jungles. These women are known as Amazons, a direct reference to the warrior women who lent their name to the real world geographical equivalent of Lustria (see Amazon Rainforest). Another group of inhabitants are the Pygmies who are longtime enemies of Slann. It is unknown if any pygmies are still alive.
In gaming terms, adding Lustria to the Warhammer world allowed the Games Workshop to explore several new armies and provide a backdrop for several existing genres of adventure, from the conquistador raids to Indiana Jones style hunts for lost treasures (particularly in Warhammer Quest).
