Tortles

Clannish, valuing genealogy and family. Tortles that wish to express this pride wear patterned tartan on their shells, the tartan denoting what clan they belong to.

During fetes and celebrations, the “Lwa” (ancestors) pick one of their children to "ride". They can then talk to and dance with their children.

Mani's Nest

 * 1) A remote island to the south of Kuy’agni’toa, surrounded by a massive wall that is constantly patrolled both on land and on sea.
 * 2) Once a year, there is a grand celebration called the Migration, where the Tortles sing, dance, and cook traditional foods.
 * 3) At the Nest, those who are ready to do so feel an urge to migrate to the center of the fortress island, where they lay their eggs.
 * 4) Thus, the celebration is a celebration of life.
