Editing Thunderous Quake (section)

== The Coulritloxtec People ==
The people of New Thunder are one of the most homogenous peoples of all Creation, thanks to tracing their lineage directly to one central figure and having no genetic mixing with other peoples.

They stand tall and broad, almost monolithic in proportions. Their skin is an ashen gray with freckles and other dominant pigmentation charcoal colored. Their eyes are very dark red, with no variation from one person to another – all iris colors are red. They have a prominent nose and very thick black hair, but no facial or body hair.

'''Stature''' – All Coulritloxtec have the Large Size merit. Most have it as a 6-point merit, but some are rather small for their people and have it at the 4-point level.

''Standard'' – 8 to 9.5 feet tall, 600+ lbs. Additional -0 and -1 health levels. Dexterity rolls to use small weapons, writing instruments, or other tools not designed for their massive hands suffer a -1 penalty.

''Runt'' – 7 to 8 feet tall, 400 – 600 lbs. Additional -0 health level.

'''Heafty''' - All Coulritloxtec have an Athletics specialty for lifting heavy objects, even if they have no dots in Athletics.

'''Natural Astrologers''' – The Coulritloxtec calendar is vastly complex, though because it governs almost every aspect of the peoples’ lives, most Coulritloxtec are keenly aware of what the day means to them and how they should tailor their lives to fit. All Coulritloxtec have the Suerstition flaw at 1 to 3 points.

''Priests'' – The Coulritloxtec priests that administer the passage of time, astrological predictions, and interpretation of the weaving of the loom of fate are most bound to the supernatural mechanisms of time. As a consequence they sacrifice victims to whichever god has the most influence at the time, make proclamations about how the battles should be fought based on little more than the reading of the stars, and never balk at the strangest and most repetitive behavior. The priests however, are the least numerous group.

''Artisans'' – The more common folk of the Coulritloxtec people generally care a great deal about the portents for the day and the influence of the gods. The bartering of goods, shipments, harvesting, crafting, and for some even getting to work at all in the mornings are all determined by the day of the calendar. Some however, will selectively interpret the portents to allow for smoother progress, especially when it comes to endangering the Coulritloxa nation.

''Soldiers'' – The constant battle in which the warriors and soldiers of Coulritloxa are enmeshed swiftly drains the supernatural thoughts from a mind, replacing it with the horrors of battle and bloodshed. While the weighty proclamations of the priests are always followed, the general day-to-day service of a soldier allows little thought for the irrational. Soldiers are the largest group.

'''Attributes''' – Most Coulritloxtec attribute scores fall into the following range: Strength 3+, Stamina 3+, Intelligence 2+, Wits 4+. The Coulritloxtec are dour, contemplative folk who are extremely difficult to fool with trickery and glamer thanks to their generations of conflict with the Fair Folk. Because of their size they are also naturally quite strong and hearty.
