Mafryn Herring
Mörkelic: Mafryn /mafrɪːn/
Mafryn herring1 are one of the most common kind of fish found in Narra'tonei Sea and to lesser extent eastern Ahix Sea off the coast of eastern and northeastern Dragonía, respectively. They are prey to a number of other fish, Níak Birds, and aquatic reptiles like Lyrkals and Tóvenkaras, and thus seek shelter in the estuaries of the Draapei, Ellú and Takakatys rivers in eastern Dragonía to spawn.

Additional Information
Uses, Products & Exploitation
Mafryn herring are an important food source for coastal Mörkel communities on the eastern Plain of Kings as well as for Ameders and Yrels inhabiting the eastern parts of Kanix Forest, though the two cultures prepare the fish in different ways. Mörkels variously boil the fish or add it into soups and stews, while the latter prefer smoked herring.
More recently, the people in the Mörkel kingdom of Áhalía have begun half-drying it by repeatedly freezing and thawing the fish during winter to give it a unique flavour, a method invented by the local Yrel community.
