History: The mainland continents have fought over the island for its resources and tactical position for decades. Most who live on the island now were born there and have no memory of landing ashore as its always been their home. The islanders decided to cut ties with the mainlands and rule the island themselves creating an unstable peace among the main factions formed on the island. Struggling for leadership on the island the factions decided to settle their conundrum with a race, all consenting to no rules except the must use the island's most available vehicle, the TUK TUK. A ceremonial process was born and the island continues this practice to this day.
Factions
Builders Brotherhood - A union of the strong, reliable, and artisans in their own right. With a love for the forest and wood, it provides for their creations to thrive.
Farmers Flock - The agricultural group hosting all the crops and livestock for the island. Known, even across the seas, for their quality wine, festivities, and music... after the day's work is done of course.
Hagglers Hold - A guild of merchants, rich in trade and wealth, are known for extravagance and beauty. They also control the largest port of the island and are heart fishermen.
The Tangled Twine - Those who live with the old ways, simple and quietly surviving in the moutains. Many would question why they would join in the battle to rule, but faith can be a dominating force.
The Wrench Wing - The intellects who unlock the mind's inner eye. Geniuses of design, science, and engineering. They appear to enjoy the marvel of their machines more than they care about ruling the lands.
Lore Stories: Mud Skippers - A gang of young rag tags is known for making a ruckus down by the farming rivers. Noisy and rebellious they spend all their time playing at racing across the muddy plains. Boarding over the waves of mud, pulled by the machines their fathers bought to plow the fields. When the fuel runs dry they lash up the horse to drag them down the watery slopes pulling off jumps and tricks as they go. Glorifying their deities of the tuk-tuk races, hoping one day they will have a chance for glory themselves.
