Defences
The hybrid setting of Waharoa makes one of it's best defense, giving the pelagos a huge advantage to choose the terrain or escape routes if their attackers are cannot breath both in air and water environments. natural rock formations in the underwater part makes an attack more difficult to navigate through. However, the pelagos have close to no warfare experience due to their very isolated landscape, the reef crown being an incredible natural protection.
Industry & Trade
Pelagos usually do a trade market and exchanges most of their goods. Popular goods being Spider Silk , Arcanic quartz, Palm Tree Barks, Fruits such as Coconuts and (-----).
Infrastructure
Land
Needing a certain amount of water and moisture to survive adequately on earth, the community strongly encourage inventive efforts towards easing the access of water to the village's land part. However, their ressources and capacity to transform matter remains limited due to their actual knowledge as a recent race. Primitive water tanks and bamboo irrigations from the jungle and are becoming commonplace near the village's outskirts.
Another infrastructure to improve quality of life on land is the Stone Sprinkler: a open air rest area where a bowl shaped roof , receiving hot water from a geyser which water falls inside and which holes can be opened or closed by a couple of workers, leaving a source of hydration at the ready. The Stone Sprinkler main pillar, larger than the others, also serves as a hot sauna. Sometimes, mischief makers and children uses the geyser's bursts to get in the air and bomb in the stone bowl's water as a thrill.
Underwater
A rich amount of Coral Housing covers the depths of the deep river , with extra color brought by some coral gardens which the pelagos like to make. The biggest coral gathering are the fortification made by the coral spikes faction, which branches extends up to out of the water. At the deepest part of the water, a circular temple-like structure made of stone collumns which resides the seers and Queen is easy to notice, lighted by nearby bioluminescent fishes.
Assets
Having limited architecture and technology, most of the town is made of scavenged materials from shipwrecks,palm tree barks or stoneworks. Their assets rarely fluctuates in term of diversity. Recently, Pelagos specialising in the working of spider silk started to diversify the assets.
Guilds and Factions
The seer's circle: Direct council of the queen, the seers are pelagos gifted with shamanic/divine talent. Aside from serving as historians and public servants, they make sure the Tenets are followed and spend time in meditative trance in order to decipher the possible secrets of life and their purpose on the island.
The coral spikes: Visualed as long vertical coral extensions which the top half emerges water, this is the military faction. Since defense is an rare occurence, most guards of the settlement act as pathfinder and guide near the town vicinites. Led by Taarua , most of them feel spending more effort toward expansion would benefit the race.

Tourism
Close to non-existent, the Pelagos live in such a secluded region they haven't made contacts with intelligents races to create any sort of tourism. Some pelagos enjoy making theories about other races looks through art, at times, which can be displayed in some parts of the settlement.
Architecture
The city is hybrid in it's architecture and location itself. The main part of the city remains in the bottom of a lake connecting the river, as for the other, it expands on land and some housing made above water level. The main architecture are made of magically-altered rock formations and Coral Housing .
Geography
Waharoa is set in the middle of a small lake being part of the main river of Man'gaihi Island . Not too far for the sea shore and beach, their land portion also connects nearby to a forest on the West. The lake's dimensions are quite irregular and makes a great spot to have a multi-leveled village.
