Lutrinian
“Let me tell you, if you plan a trip on the high
seas, you’ll find no better navigator than a Lutrinian.
Even their youngest knows how to navigate only with
the stars in the darkest of nights. Their instinct for the
temperament of the seas will be a great boon to you. But
if you make an enemy of them, BEWARE the retaliation.”
— Aldeous One-Eye, Captain’s Log
On their floating city ships or in recluse walled river
cities, lutrinians are always working with water to make
a better life for themselves. The smell of fish and the
gentle lapping of the waves is their constant companion.
Explorers and adventurers they’ve probably reached
farther on the sea than any other race can claim to have.
Lissome and Charming
Agile and fast, the small lutrinians are excellent at
avoiding their numerous predators. Sometimes hunted
for their thick and warm fur by the less scrupulous
members of society the lutrinians develop survival
skills early on. Their webbed hands and feet and their
powerful tail makes them exceptional swimmers.
If captured they rely on their wits and winning smile.
Nobody will deny how adorable they can be when they’re
not on the wrong side of a prank, and even then their
natural charm will often get them out of sticky situations.
Their small stature and short limbs can be
detrimental when fighting, that’s why they tend to favor
weapons with a longer reach like polearms, harpoons
and pikes, or ranged weapons akin to crossbows, slings
or even firearms.

living near a body of water. Constructing at least part
of their cities on stilts or outright making their abode
something that floats and can be moved if need be, the
lutrinians have lots of tricks to fish, from nets dragging
under to colonies of shellfish growing on the stilts of their
cities, giving them an almost endless source of protein.
The lutrinians spend a lot of time with their family,
grooming each other to maintain the waterproof
characteristics of their fur, creating deep bonds between
the members of a clan.
Most lutrinians rarely go far in land, they are far more
at ease near bodies of water, but if the reward is enticing
enough, it might be the promise of a jolly good time, the
quest for a particularly tasty beverage or maybe their

outside of their comfort zone.
Playful Tricksters
Due to their short life span, lutrinians try to make the
most of every day. They live in the moment not wary of
consequences. Always looking to amuse themselves
they often play tricks on their entourage. A night spent
with a lutrinian is not something you easily forget.
Lutrinians favor occupations offering adventure and
fast rewards. Piracy and thievery play a big part of their
lives. At ease on the waters they make great ship captains
and deck hands. Some turn to a life of entertainment
performing shows and regaling crowds with grandiose
tales and epic ballads about the accomplishment of
famous lutrinians of past and present.
