Turlough Protectorate

The Turlough Protectorate is a fully autonomous region with it's own culture, language, and military that is located within the hostile Forstmarsh region of The Wetlands. Ethnically the Turlough people are mostly Moonlyte in origin, with moderate interbreeding with the local Wetlanders. No scholar alive is certain to the Protectorate's origin though the most accepted theory is that the Turloughs were originally Moonlyte mercenaries which were hired by Wetlander kings of eons past which eventually settled and acclimated to the climate. Turloughs speak a pidgin language which incorporates mostly Noortung though is heavily influenced by the Wetlander tongue.
