Khelian Race (v69)

Welcome! Khelians, a race of sentient humanoid sea turtles. They are a peaceful, easy-going race who love to snack on fish, and have a pretty good handle of how to get them. My goal for this mod is to add variety to the base game by including a new race that fits in seamlessly. I've tried to keep the graphics in line with the art style, and maintain a good balance in how they perform in a city. Let me know what you think.



• A whole new playable race
• Unique overhead sprites and portraits that fit seamlessly with the vanilla game
• Unique names and nursery
• Balanced stats
• A new sea themed religion



Khelians are a well-mannered race of humanoid sea turtles. They find themselves congregating near rivers and the ocean and build simple huts out of wood or mud. Many of these small fishing communities dotted the landscape until the Age of Ice where those Khelian's who hadn't outright died went into a deep hibernation. When they awoke after the thaw, they found their homes in ruin, and the landscape vastly different. Many chose to seek out new settlements or to try and rebuild their homes.

These people are peaceful and enjoy their long lives catching fish and preserving knowledge. They prefer to be closer to nature, living near water and within wooden structures. While their hide and shell provide very good natural defenses for combat, the peaceful nature of these people cause them to have a hesitancy towards conflict, and would rather remain at home, though if a call to arms is necessary, they provide excellent defensive coverage from arrow barrages and charges.

Khelians love fish above all other foods, but do enjoy fruits and vegetables when they are around. Their slow nature grants them a longer lifespan, though it takes longer for a Khelian child reaches adulthood. When they do, one can expect an excellent member of society for well over 100 years.
