Feniar

The people of the feniar live at the Coral's Edge, where the Somer Plate ends into a plummeting waterfall, which disappears into the distance into an ocean, which, much further away, rise once more into the sky, well past the highest peak of Somer.
Initially a people solely made out of water genasi and water elves, the feniar with time took in many other peoples, accepting all sorts of folks into their midst. The feniar live as one with the coral reefs just below the water surface, with homes built on thick poles and tools and items crafted out of what the ocean gifts them.
Over the generations spent swimming deep and far at the edge of the world, the feniar have developed very strong lungs, some even capable of holding their breath for hours at a time.

Culture

Common Customs, traditions and rituals

The feniar's years are thrice as long as most other people's on the Somer Plate, as they count the start of the year from the end of the Long Night, and the start of the Night is the end of their year.

Common Myths and Legends

It is said that, in the ocean beneath the Somer Plate, lives great serpents, dragons of the old world, which retreated from the Plate centuries past. These serpents are part of the vast pantheon that the feniar believe in, and they give offerings to the serpents alongside their other deities.
