Retja

Retja is the lead fisherman of the village, who indicates that ‘frogmen’ were preventing him fishing in the most successful fishing spot near an island. He is proud and prickly. Though he is a competent fisherman as a warrior his pride clearly outstrips his abilities and he has very little knowledge of sailing. A profoundly cowardly individual he is quick to find something else to be doing during combat. He is very quick to judge. The village elder has little respect for him, believing him to be overly superstitious. He has two children, Retic and Te’na. He had another son called Retsu, his eldest child, described as a proud boy much like his father but he died acting as bait during a ritual hunt. He owns two large (25ft), serviceable boats that can be sailed or rowed and appears willing to loan these boats to strangers for use in the defence of the village (on the authority of Edatsuyurn). The boats are equipped with harpoons and nets. He plays an unknown stringed instrument with some degree of competence. He annually hunts “fearsome” sharks for the equinox festival. He views Zewlin as cowardly for using ranged weapons and for preferring the comparative ease of hunting on land.
