Lontra are fey, and their history tells of a time when they lived in the fey's mysterious realm, a place where colors are brighter, the wildlands wilder, and emotions more primal. Lontra have never abandoned their fey roots or adapted to mortal culture. Their capricious natures, and their outlooks on life and the world show this the best.
Lontra have the same concerns and motivations as members of other races, but have earned a reputation for being impetuous and at least a little mad.
Combined with their vibrant coloration, and lack of concern for the opinions of others, these attitudes have caused lontra to be widely regarded by the other races as alien and strange. Lontra, in turn, are often amazed how alike other common, civilized races are. Indeed, Lontrans often confound their allies by treating everyone who is not a Lontran as part of a single, vast non-Lontrans collective race.
Physical Description
Their fur tends toward vibrant colors such as the fiery orange of autumn leaves, the verdant green of forests at springtime, or the deep reds and purples of wildflowers in bloom. Similarly, their flesh tones range from earthy browns to floral pinks, and lontrans with black, pastel blue, or even green skin are not unknown. Lontra coloration has little regard for heredity, with the color of a lontran's parents and other kin having no apparent bearing on the Lontran's appearance.
Society
Unlike most races, Lontrans do not generally organize themselves within classic societal structures. Whimsical creatures at heart, they are typically ever seeking new and more exciting experiences.
Relations
When two Lontrans encounter one another, they generally assume some mutually beneficial arrangement can be reached, no matter how different their beliefs and traditions may be. To Lontrans, action is always better than inaction, and many Lontrans carry several projects with them at all times to keep themselves entertained during rest periods.
Alignment & Religion
Although Lontrans are impulsive tricksters, with sometimes inscrutable motives and equally confusing methods, their hearts are generally in the right place. Lontrans are prone to powerful fits of emotion. They are usually chaotic good, and prefer to worship deities who value individuality and nature.
Adventurers
Lontrans propensity for wanderlust, deep curiosity, and desire to master odd or esoteric skills and languages make them natural adventurers. They often become wanderers to experience new aspects of life, for nothing is as novel as the uncounted dangers facing adventurers.
