Turtle-villages are floating settlements that wander between the islands of the Wounds. Despite the name, only a rare few have truly been built on the backs of giant turtles. Most are instead located on thick mats of floating seaweed, solid enough for to walk on for those familiar enough with their constant swaying. Upon these mats rafts are lashed together for stability, and upon these rafts small shelters and are and constructed. A handful of turtle-villages use volcanic rocks of a low enough density to float as their basis instead.
Turtle-villages move with the whims of the seas, or those of their host creature, unable to be steered or controlled by their inhabitants. Multiple cultures of the Wounds live within the turtle-villages but they are perhaps best associated with itinerant mercantile communities of Keleta-Ru gnomes.
