Aquea Elf

Basic Information

Biological Traits

Aquea elves still have the elongated faces and pointed ears of there cousins. However, life making their homes on and below the water has evolved them to have gills that allow them to breathe above and below water. They also have developed extensive inter-digit webbing that allows them to move through the water more swiftly. Aquea elves also have coverings of bluish scales that run along over their shoulders and down their outer arms as well the outer side of their legs and over the tops of their feet. Aquea elves hair runs a variety of colors, matching the variety of coral that line the sea, colors such as purple, bright reds, pink, green, blue, and gold just to name a few.

Civilization and Culture

History

As the elves spread out over the continent, conquering more and more land for each family. One of the lesser families found themself pushed out to sea by their bitter rivals. They were forces to develop magics that allowed them to build underwater and started to build their great city in the deepest depths of the Rinas oceans. Original there city was encased in large protective bubbles of air, but as the Aquea elves evolved to their aquatic states, they eventually stopped maintaining the bubbles and lived in the sea as water breathing humanoids.

Trance. Elves don't need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is "trance.") While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep. If you meditate during a long rest, you finish the rest after only 4 hours. You otherwise obey all the rules for a long rest; only the duration is changed.
