Homebrew Froakai Species Details

The Froakaians are a race of tribal sentient amphibians. While there appear to be distinctive sub-species within their population, they collectively consider themselves as the "same, but different". There are 8 tribes in total, all of which live and reside within the frozen marshlands known collectively as Croakitoa, located on the Southeastern quadrant of the continent of Ayr. 

They do not have a spoken language per say, but more a system of sounds and gesticulations to communicate with one another. After the scientists and other foreigners arrive, they found it rather difficult to communicate with them. As these other races began encroaching on and around their lands, the Froakaians believed that should they just think hard enough, then they should be able to make the outsiders understand. And as it was believed, so it was to be. All Froakaians became telepathic at the same instant, on the same day (circa -70 BE).
