Snelly Peoples

The Snelly Peoples are a subgroup of the much larger Shinto People race of Native Gabanian's. They differ from all other Shinto people by the fact that they choose to remain in the ocean instead of on land. While all Shinto people have the ability to breathe underwater and metamorphosis into having fins capable of letting them swim under the oceans, rivers, and lakes of the planet, the Snelly People rarely rise above the ocean. They live within the largest Kingdom on the Planet, the Kingdom of Snelly whose capital of Atlantis rivals those of Havana, Athens, St. Bishop, and San Juan in opulence and prestige.

History
The Snelly People like all Shinto People are explained in The Big Book of Ancient Gabanian Fables as having been born out of the Fire and Water of the world. The Snelly choose to remain in the water and built Atlantis, the Russo and Atenos would go to build St. Bishop and Athens.

Language
Unlike other groups of Shinto peoples, the Snelly like the Athenian Culture, speak only Athenian as their language and utilize the standard use of spelling and writing that is used across the entire Empire.

Religion
Like all other Shinto Peoples, the Snelly are very religious and believe in Athenaism as there only faith. Temple life is widespread through out the entire Kingdom of Snelly. The Snelly adhere very strongly to Koshem Laws, however they are sometimes known to be exempt from the ability to fish for substance as technically fish are the only meat source allowed to be eaten by Koshem Law.

Culture
The Snelly adhere to most customs as all other Shinto peoples, family life, faith in their Gods, Temple life, and communal gatherings.
