Gripplis

While the majority of the Many Races are spread evenly across Negrotharl, the gripplis are largely, but not strictly, found in Vordai. While adult grippli can survive in all environments, their offspring require swampland or similar wetlands for their first year of life. Most gripplis are primitive hunter gatherers, living on large insects and fish found near their treetop homes, and are unconcerned about events outside their swamps.

What gripplis lack in advanced industries they gain in attunement to their natural environment. A mottled combination of warm and cool skin tones helps camouflage them in flowering jungles and healthy wetlands, and their splayed toes and hooked toe pads make navigating silty water and towering trees second nature. This connection goes beyond physical features; over millennia, gripplis have developed rich religious and cultural traditions to care for their homes. Grippli spirituality is as diverse as their anatomy. While some tribes worship spirits and have witchdoctors and shaman, others follow the common deities and have their own Paladins and Clerics, and yet some still follow even stranger paths worshiping everything from fundamental forces to unfathomable evils.
