Rhullians

Rhullians are a race well-suited to saltwater oceanic environments, with a fondness for culture, and meeting creatures from the sea or land. Despite being remote from the rest of the known world, they enjoy traveling and experiencing other cultures. Though many Rhullian city-states rise-and-fall over time, Rhullia City-State has become a unique exception, believed by few to be the original city founded long ago. Many seek to witness what is attested to be the most technologically advanced and cultured city on Sigom.

Physical Description

Rhullians possess webbed feet and hands, allowing them to easily swim in any direction they desired, in addition to their protruding tail and fins. Generally they are much more adapted to the sea floor, as their bipedal-like posture makes it easy for them to travel and explore the ground. Rhullians generally have 4-6 barbels on their face allowing them to easily identify food on the ground floor. Some Rhullians are known to have tougher, more scaly skin, than the smooth skin. While they also possess small claws/nails, many trim them as there is a cultural sigma against them.

Society

What limited oral and written traditions were kept of Rhullian history shows the many different political climates that have existed for the average Rhullian. After several political and societal changes throughout the decades Rhullia ended up forming a very advanced form of Democracy which is divided by representatives who oversee the districts. While every Rhullian is granted one vote, certain classes are granted additional votes such as religious workers, who are granted two votes instead of one. Many citizens have also been taking up more creative and artists forms of work, such as oral poetry, and trinket-crafting. The city amphitheater, while generally reserved for political purposes, has seen much more use by artisans for sharing stories, and soft-story telling, using actors and props. With the ability for numerous individuals to hear the tales, or watch a story unfold has laid out some groundwork for creative individuals to reach a wider audience never quite seen before.
