Thollu

Thollu is a roaming town which slowly moves through the Stinking Swamps of Green earth atop the massive, mossy shells of horizonback tortoise, in addition to hundreds of tents and mobile huts. The exact number is fluid as satellite outposts are established and moved as required.

Description

Thollu's permanent structures consists of rickety shacks and towers built atop the backs of around forty horizonback tortoise. The shells of the tortoises are reinforced with sharpened bones and spikes, as well as ballistae and catapults. Each neighborhood stacked atop a tortoise is a microcosm of a village in its own right, the denizens of which strive to keep it as self sufficient as possible.
As the herd of horizonback trundle through the Stinking Swamps, the city reconfigures daily, and the settlement often scattered and leaves outposts throughout the region. Beyond the tortoises, many residents of the city live in tents and huts that they bring with them as they travel with the herd.
