Kel-Par are found mostly on the Izzu and Olechel islands, often called "the Sister Islands". Kel-Par largely segregate themselves from the rest of the world in walled farming villages of all sizes, and sometimes full-fledged monastic orders. Kel-Par value peace and serenity, and are officially a politically neutral power. A few, have been known to serve as diplomatic aides due to the official neutral standing of the Kel-Par agrarian-cooperative. Though such events are rare, any even noteworthy enough to bring the Kel-Par out of their walled villages is bound to be significant.
Kel-par are man sized bipedal turtles, roughly 41/2 to 5 feet tall on average. They tend to weigh in excess of 300 pounds, due primarily to their large shells. They are generally serene in nature, preferring an agrarian life-style above all others. They live off the produce of the land, and on a fixed cycle let the land rest for a year or more to encourage soil fertility. They range in complexion from pale-olive to deep forest-green. They have mildly pronounced sharp snapping-turtle like beaks that are far more likely to be used to brake apart a nut than to be used in combat.
Kel-par are long lived, some 250 years on average. This combined with their typically simple lifestyle makes them a rather well disciplined, and introspective bunch on the whole. They do defend themselves when threatened, and have multiple a well-developed martial arts.
