Few Ancestries have as unfortunate a history as Tortles. Once a long lived and prominent Ancestry they are now cursed to a very specific pattern of life, however this has made them carry deep traditions and close communities of family. Leading to a wise and meaningful people.
General Information
Tortles tend to stand around five feet tall and rarely change from their general shape. That said their shells and features can vary greatly depending on their heritage and location. Those born near the sea will have smoother features while some from warmer climates will be more jagged and rough. The other thing that all Tortles possess is a heavy weight. They do not tend to need armor due to their shell. Additionally due to their curse, all Tortles live exactly fifty years, and are only born every 5 years so all Tortles age on a consistent pattern.
Origins of Creation
Tortles were originally created by the Gods to be leaders and sages for the Mortals of Lendahnna. However during The War a specific priest to Istus caused a great event leading to them being cursed by Trithereon. Now the Tortles have a rigid and foundationally cyclical society. That said they hold stories and community to high standards regardless of location.
Regions
Tortles are present everywhere in Lendahnna. However, the largest locations for them are on the northern rivers of the Plains of Progress, Klera and Lamsu, the islands to the west of the Umalte, and the southern shores of Renmorelli’s Hold.
