Merfolk
Merfolk are a sea-dwelling race with humanoid upper bodies and fish-like tails instead of legs. There is a large variation in size, appearance and features between types. Various types of merfolk can be found in the seas across the world. They have gills, but can breathe above water for a short time, up to a couple hours with practice. A lot of Merfolk live near and around Parasa, having trade deals with the land-living folk there. There are also many wilder Merfolk living near the Aune Islands.
