Ribaulti

From deep within the swamps lie the Ribaulti, short but accomplished survivors who can survive under the harsh wetland environments. While largely a migratory race initially, they had always spent most of their times in the Kashantha Swamps, notably the largest-known swampland in Sigom. Their range nowadays is quite limited, and those who do live in Kashantha often prefer to be left alone or are living in secrecy. Nonetheless, it is hard to visit any central swampland without running into one or seeing signs of their activity.

Physical Description

Ribaulti appear like humanoid Toads, while they may be small they are often stumpy and plump. Their skin is rough and bumpy from hardened pours to protect them from predators. In addition, the glands in their skin expunge a psychedelic liquid which covers their skin, which can instantly cause neurological effects with any whom touch or consume them. Their legs both grant them a decent swimming and walking speed, in addition to a superior jump when compared to other races.

Society

Most if not all Ribaulti are big on hospitality and privacy. They believe all people deserve access to a warm shelter without having to share even with an admirer, As most married couple do not occupy the same house. However, they are expected to live directly next to each other, or share a "Suitor Surface" - This is often a wall that separates the two homes, similar to a townhouse or an apartment flat. Meditation and exploring deep thoughts make up a good amount of social interaction as well, many festivities and holidays are based around solo or group mediation. Most Ribaulti outside of swamps do these in secrecy, as many places consider their meditation practices similar to rituals that could stir public unrest. Not all Ribaulti dabble in abberaturgy, but trinkets and gag items are common children's toys and party affairs. It should also be noted that traditionally those who where able to control abberaturgy had stronger political sway, in some remote or extremely isolated communities still maintain this old practice.
