For those who don't know this is what I am talking about https://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Valashai it says they abandoned Golarion but doesn't say where, and the book that mentions them doesn't give any more information. However, I noticed the Saurians in Bestiary 6 https://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Saurian seem suspiciously similar to the physical description of the Valashmaians. Maybe they are descended from some of them who got left behind or something?
Seriously? Nothing?
I'm not sure I see the connection. Valashai were cruel slavers and plane shifters while Saurians are protectors of other primordial creatures and largely Druidic in nature. They're both certainly very old reptilian races, but you could say that about many of the primordial creatures that existed before the rise of man. You could definitely make the case that Saurians are an offshoot of Valashai seeking to right the wrongs of their ancestors.
Physically they're definitely close in height (15 to 20 ft tall) but I get the impression from the Saurian description that they're more centaur-like, as they have distinctly different upper and lower bodies. Maybe the Valashai bred into a more tyrannosaur race and the Saurians are a result? Anything is possible!
Saurians have 2 legs. The description is kind of confusing but theres a picture in the book.

Right, I meant centaur like as in they have a tyrannosaurus lower half and a humanoid upper half.
