Merfolk

The term Merfolk was coined by the scholars of old Xaxalin to denote any sapient species inhabitant of the seas and oceans, capable of breathing underwater. They are not of one single race, but instead several species of water-dwelling beings from several regions of Solthris, with vastly different origins and physiologies.

Qualla
The Qualla were created by the dragon Njardr from the humans and orcs of Xaxalin amidst the sinking of Arteanu, and are centered today around the sea of the Drowned Reach. They are divided into the Zathani and the Naquassi, being that the latter has also produced subdivisions such as the Ashaqua and the Laquari.

Crusbach
The Crusbach are a stout people with bodies covered in tough chitin carapaces.

Gilloch
The Gilloch are a race of amphibious beings, found primarily in the inland seas and coasts of Xaxalin, or deep ocean reaches, but also in small numbers in Althesar.
