Brief History: Believed to be founded by the Black Tortoise of Shinto mythology, Turtrians strongly believe in a good honest work. Perhaps because of the cramped position against the mountains and river, the houses are very close together often going underground or housing several families. Docks and even house boats dot the coastline and going up to the mountain more and more lodges for cutting wood are found. Diet consists of mountain animals, fish and rice. A smaller part of the village can be found on the west side. The west side is mostly devoted to farming and trade. Here foreign boats line the ports with a bustling city center. Many Turtrians work on this side and live on the other.
