Homebrew Lutrien Species Details
Lutriens are bipetal otter-like humanoids that inhabit the coasts of cold seas and broad rivers. Most of them prefer a simple life and eventhough their social structures are complex, most of their cities have primitive buildings and neither fences nor walls. They do not use currency, instead they use food as payment for goods and services. They do not build roads, but on frequently used steep paths they will build slides for the community to use.
Few ever leave their homes to seek adventure, but those who do mostly find it easy to get paid work, especially if quests are related to waters.
