Description
Chelonians are a race of turtle-like humanoids that inhabit swampy regions as well as subterranean caverns. Chelonians are fiercely territorial and extremely protective over their eggs (which are clustered in a single warm, damp chamber of their lairs).
As their shells thicken with age, chelonians are given titles within their strict caste system denoting their value to their tribe: hatchlings are given no title; guards and warriors are named after common ore; officers and specialists are named for precious metals; and elders (always magic users) are given titles taken from precious gems.
Iron Chelonians often serve as guards while Copper Chelonians are common soldiers.
