While physical strength is a valued trait among the fire-bellied tortles, those who are not born robust are schooled in the arcane arts and become mages. While they usually serve to boost their tribemates in combat or perform useful tasks while surviving the Flaming Tundra, they wield powerful offensive spells. Fire-bellies who become mages are usually the sharpest of their tribe, and make most of the larger decisions. |
