Appearance
Naiathel most closely resemble humans in their build. They have pale skin that is tinged with a range of light grey or desaturated blue tones. Their hair ranges from white, grey, algae green/blue, and in rare cases a golden yellow. Their irises glow with faint bioluminescence, in a wide variety of colors. A Naiathel's eye color can generally determine what oceanic region they are from, and is important within their society to determine their lineages. The webbings between their fingers and toes are slightly more pronounced, but not to the point of making them fin-like.
Biology
Naiathel follow typical mammalian reproduction cycles, closely resembling that of humans. They are genetically apart from other races, having no clear genetic lineage. Scientists theorize they are related to humans, due to the high amount of shared characteristics. Naiathel mature at the same rate as humans, but age slightly slower once reaching maturity, living to be 100-130 years of age. Naiathel have no gills, and though they have more pronounced webbing between their fingers and toes, it is not terribly significant. This has lead scientists to theorize that some sort of genetic, innate magic is present within the Naiathel that grants them waterbreathing, and their notable maneuverability within the water.
History
Naiathel history is somewhat of a mystery, a secret kept by Naiathel royalty and not shared with the world. What is known is that the Naiathel were not always united, and were once many tribes. At some point in their history, they were united into an Empire, and then turned their sights to the overworld. Their society is structure rigidly, focused on military might, and adherence to authority. Naiathel respect the right to rule through strength above all else, often speaking of "Right of Conquest" as though it were their religion.
