Homebrew Keeyooni (Otterfolk) Species Details

The Otterfolk, are a race of Humaniod Otters that live around Lake Galifar. It is said the first one that gained sentience learned to speak when the progenitor dragon Syberis was killed and her body turned to dust, as her ashes flew upwards and formed the rings around the planet, a few specks landed on the land. Creating among other races, the Otterfolk.
Keeyooni are a hardy species that call the Rivers, Lakes and Oceans that spans the continent and any body of water of any degree their home. They often find employment as sailors or traders on river flats. 

A Keeyooni family is called a raft, and each raft is lead by an Elder. The Elder is picked by the previous Elder to take their place but is usually the strongest and/or wisest among their peers. This means sometimes even the Elder's own blood is not guaranteed the position. 

Keeyooni are a kind race, but if you touch their raft, you better swim fast. For their home, their family, means everything to them. And when they travel they generally have at least one of their kin or friends with them. Each year, all the Keeyooni gather in Lake Galifar and offer self made items or fresh caught fish to Syberis in celebration of life.

The Keeyooni stands between 4 feet and 6 feet tall and have brown to black fur. They are lean and agile though, most preferring speed over raw strength.

Names: Keeyooni normally names their offspring after plants and animals. 

Raft names are different but just as important. 

Otterfolk are very loyal, once they choose a mate, they stay together for their lifespan.
