The Rethanal is a medium-sized fish known for its shimmering scales and graceful movements, found primarily in the rivers and lakes of Forbin and the Seynan Islands. While not a major source of food, the Rethanal is often admired for its beauty and is sometimes caught for ornamental purposes.
Physical Appearance
Rethanal typically grow to about two feet in length. Their bodies are covered in pale, iridescent scales that change color from silver to soft blues and greens depending on the light. They have long, flowing fins and a slightly elongated body, giving them an elegant appearance in the water.
Habitat
These fish are found in clear, freshwater rivers and lakes, preferring calm, slow-moving waters with abundant plant life. In Forbin, they are most commonly seen in the tranquil lakes of Selmana, while the Seynan Islands host Rethanal in their freshwater springs and streams.
Behaviour
Rethanal are peaceful fish that travel in small schools, feeding on aquatic plants and insects. They are known for their graceful swimming patterns and tend to stay near the surface, often making them visible to onlookers. During their breeding season in early summer, they lay eggs among aquatic vegetation, where the young are well-hidden.
Geographic Distribution
Rethanal are found throughout the still lakes and rivers of Forbin, particularly in the calmer regions around Selmana. In the Seynan Islands, they inhabit the freshwater springs and quiet streams, where their presence is often regarded as a sign of clean, healthy water.
Interaction with People
Though not commonly fished for food, the Rethanal is occasionally caught for decorative ponds or ornamental purposes, particularly in Forbin’s noble estates. Some islanders in the Seynan Islands view the fish as good luck, and its shimmering scales are sometimes used in jewelry or talismans. The fish itself is not prized as a food source due to its delicate and somewhat bland taste.
