Chiridori (Rodentfolk)

A race of rodentfolk with common ancestry to simple rodents. Breed fast and live relatively short lives. A little smaller than humans on average. Highly communal and pro-social. Take care of their own and and trust that they will be taken care of. Attuned to the interconnectedness of nature and civilization. Agriculturally focused, but ecologically conscious. See shaping and protecting the land as something that serves all, and something that all have a responsibility to. Prone to exploration and expansion due to their high birthrates.
