Tortle
Tortles are the longest-lived mortal race of Crudilex. With a lifespan of 10,000 years, they are older than the world of Crudilex itself. They are natural empaths with the ability to connect on a spiritual level with people and the world around them.
The iron-shelled, leathery, green-skinned Tortles are among the most well-known across Crudilex, as they are among its most well-regarded diplomats. They are beyond long-lived; as far as is understood, they are immortal and cannot die of old age. The oldest among their number is as old as the world itself, and among their people, it is said that they will live as long as the world does, and be its Shepherd.
