Quadav

A race of turtle-like bipeds, the Quadav inhabit certain swampy regions, as well as subterranean caverns, on the continent of Quon. Apparently closely tied to the earth in which they work and live, the Quadav identify themselves individually and culturally with the materials with which they work.

As their shells thicken with age, the titles given to individual Quadav change. Within their strict caste system, those chosen to serve as warriors are given titles portraying age, Paladins are hard metals, and Thieves and Dark Knights are given precious metals, while those chosen to be magicians are given titles taken from precious gems and rocks.

The Quadav have long possessed an understanding of metallurgical technology, and have adapted their skills in metalworking to even create fire-fueled incubators with pipes to carry warm air into the ground to warm the damp caves where their eggs are kept.

The incursion of miners from the Bastok nation have repressed the Quadav and driven them out of territories which they have long occupied, to which they respond with aggressive acts against most foreigners they encounter.
