Tulp

At first glance, the sleepy-looking Tulps are very unassuming creatures. While they are very laid-back and passive, you would be very mistaken to conclude that this is all they have to offer. The Tulps are largely responsible for many of the goods produced around the world, from farming and tailoring, to even helping in the construction of Nula and Sybilline. To the Tulps, hard work is just another day in the life. At the end of the day however, one can rest assured that they have found a suitable place to rest their heads. A specialty of the Tulps is geomancy, which they can utilize in many different ways. The most popular type of geomancy among them involves mushrooms, which they often use to build their homes.

While the Tulps have never been involved in any of the major conflicts around the world, they are not one to stray from battle. The Roots in particular are typically the guardians of the hamlets, as they are naturally the stronger breed of Tulp. If anyone would dare to attack a settlement or farm, The Roots are leading the charge in defending their home. Those often working in the shadows are known as The Stems, as they are lankier and quicker than the other breeds. They are the quickest and sneakiest of the three, even when they don’t necessarily mean to be. And finally, The Buds, who are the most cosmopolitan of the Tulps. They can be found in many places around the world, due to their insatiable curiosity and love for adventure. Having the highest jump height of the Tulps makes it quite easy for them to reach places that others can not. They are usually the most intelligent of the three as well, typically lending themselves to the arcane arts or helping Humans in their cataloguing of the secrets of the world.

There is no formally recognized form of government or royalty amid the Tulps, as they are happy to work as a community among themselves and even with neighboring settlements of the other races. Because of this, more often than not the Tulp hamlets are a very mixed bag when it comes to who is populating its houses. Tulps are very good friends with the Icape and Koshin, as they tend to fit right in with the peaceful, slow-moving lifestyle. On the other hand, while they may not be sworn enemies, the Tulps are wary of the Voliere because of their intrusive and narrow-minded policies.
