Lore
A creature of the dark that swore to protect, and meant it. The light that rewrote its shell burns a little of it away each time it keeps the vow, and it keeps it anyway. It is the one the Binders tell the young ones about: the darker the start, the brighter the turn.
The Aspido Tortoise
Born of the drowned places and armored like things that expect to be struck. Their kind were made to guard what should not be guarded. Every Cobblit carries the same mace and the same question: what is worth holding on to?
