While it would be ludicrous to suggest adding them now, I'd like to suggest that the Heket be made a playable race sometime in the future when the Elonan continent is handled (maybe in expansion form or something, I dunno).
Why the Heket?
First and foremost (so I can get this out of the way), they should be playable because they're incredibly cool. Frogmen! What's not to like?
After reading through the available lore in the "The Movement of the World" article here on the wiki, it struck me that Palawa's takeover of Elona wouldn't be good for the Heket at all. I mean, a major river was diverted; so they've lost a probable habitat. Zombies and other forms of undeath are shambling all over the place unchecked; so that can't be good for their diet -- especially if undeath can be transferred between and among species (that's a REALLY big "if"). They were already hunted by Elonians because of their "public nuisance" status, and I don't see Joko changing that. All in all, they really don't seem to have a reason to like PJ very much -- if at all.
They seem to have the prerequisites of a playable race down. They can use weapons, wear armor, splinter off into classes, speak the common tongue, reason, etc.
Finally, it would make for an interesting narrative arc for the Heket collective. They started off as a public nuisance, but worked their way up to become saviors of a continent.
As for how they'd play, or what kinds of racial abilities they'd have -- I'm sure the designers could come up with something (or maybe YOU could come up with something *points into foreground to indicate reader is person being addressed*). Thanks for your time, and for reading my suggestion. Thanks in advance for your feedback.
