🕑 Added 2024-12-23 07:18:17 +0000 UTCXana - The Xana live both on the land and the sea and have been known to fair well with inland waters as well. The more accommodating of the Agea to outsiders next to the Toa-Qshl, they were the first to open their villages to trade. Among the Agea, they are craftsmen and builders as well as having warrior tribes. Not the strongest of their kin despite their size, they do possess the ability to trigger spurts of adrenaline, giving a clear advantage.

Ysul - The Ysul are an adverse people that are more at home in the sea, yet are known to have a few cove communities among the islands. Some have even been seen living among Gardens far inland where substantial enough sources of water can be found. Graceful swimmers second to the Ela'ele. Though they do not acknowledge it as such, they use a peculiar magik called “awh-mer” or “currents”, allowing them to an extent to manipulate water unlike the artes.

Een - Een are stocky, stubborn Agea that despite having difficulty with Huema languages do to their physiology making it difficult, they are more curious about outsiders and their ways. Adherents to Aiwa-Poli to a serious degree, they will shun any race using ships they believe harm the seas, explaining their poor relationship with the Xana and Ysul. They can lift near half their weight and explains their temples found in the bogs and swamps.

Ela'ele - Commonly referred to as merfolk by the land-dwelling kin, the Ela'ele are one of the most beautiful and majestic of the Aqualyte, and elusive. They tend to prefer the company of their own if not just those that dwell in the sea among them. They do not possess vocal cords, but they can manipulate special glands in their mouths into vibrations that imitate speech. Above water, this manifests as if they are singing.
Able to dive into the depths, the Ela'ele are known to be hunters of abyssal corruptions, large prey and treasures lost from sunken vessels they trade with their kin.
----
Toa-Qshl - The Tao-Qshl are shy, naturally submissive Agea that adoringly enough are looked after by their kindred. They serve in various capacities throughout all the communities of the Agea, establishing themselves as a backbone of their society.

Seekers - The Aqualyte give them no name, so this is how the Huema refer to this most unique of those from the sea. Resembling very closely common sea-dwelling animals, these have several distinguishing physical characteristics that stand them apart. The most alarming and fascinating to scholars is that Seekers seem to communicate through telepathy in a language yet to be deciphered. Why exactly this name came to them however, is credited to a scholar that ended his own life after recording what is believed to be his translation of such communications.

Mao'hara - Concept design for one variety of sea people in the world of Nis. The Mao`hara are considered the Tianite of the sea due to their massive size, and would be considered another sea creature if not for their intelligence and ability to communicate with the other races. Possessing unique traits among their own, Mao`hara vary in color and size with females having larger fins while males possess longer tendrils and aray of colors during mating season (similar to the Myridian).
As they have no mouths to speak, they achieve this through creating vibrations in the water with a combination of the chemicals in their fluorescent membranes that carries their will or impression of their thoughts to the listener. This means however that they can only be communicated with in their natural habitat of which they never leave. Many travel out to sea to hear their song that travels even to the surface surrounding Aqualos Island.
Not much is known about the Mao`hara, but some among the Myridian that dive to their depths have professed to having seen much larger, terrifying forms of Mao`hara believed to be transformed through high levels of exposure to the abyss.
