Totems are divine animals that ✨Heralds used as the basis for their creations. Typically conquered, vanquished, or created by the Heralds, the Totems are typically the inspiration for the appearance and traits of a lineage of people. For instance, the Herald Yama vanquished the Totem Omhydra to create the 🦎Lizardfolk, while 🐍Apep birthed the Naga, which lent their divine energy to the first 🐍Yuan-Ti in return for worship and safeguarding.
