Race: Nepheli
The Nepheli, the only civilised aquatic race on Aesor, call the depths of the Four Isles Sea their home. Short trips on dry land without the comfort of the seas is not a problem for the Nepheli, however if they intend to perhaps spend years dry, they require a specific coating to be put on their bodies. A protective substance called Shoresap. This measure is necessary because lengthy direct exposure to air can cause their skin to become uncomfortably dry and shortens their lifespan. Their Elemental Host is Ar (Water).
Living for extended periods, Nepheli's physical appearance undergoes numerous transformations over time. Their shape and skin color shift according to their proximity to the sea's surface, adapting to the challenges of their underwater existence.
Inhabitants of the Four Isles Sea, the Nepheli stand as the sole humanoid representatives in this watery domain. Their remarkable coexistence with the sea's denizens has fostered profound connections. These aquatic beings have integrated the creatures of the deep into their daily lives, forming a unique and symbiotic relationship.
Physical Description
The Nepheli are fish-like humanoid beings that exhibit a range of features adapted for their life beneath the waves. Their average height spans from 5 to 6 feet, reflecting their adaptation to the underwater environment. A notable characteristic is their vivid blue hue, resembling the colors of the sea itself. The depth of their skin color corresponds to their habitat's darkness, ranging from the serene cyan shades found in shallower waters to the deep and mysterious abyssal blues of the ocean's greatest depths. The Nepheli possess prominent fins that aid them in navigating the aquatic expanse. These fins are essential adaptations that facilitate their movements and agility in water, enabling them to explore the hidden corners of the ocean with ease. The fins not only grant them superb swimming abilities but also contribute to their overall aquatic appearance.Origins
The Nepheli, have graced the world of Aesor since the Year 187 of the First Age A.A. Like the other races, the Nepheli's origins are arguably traced back to the hands of the Óhin. However, historical records lack clarity regarding the exact details of this divine creation. Combining elements of sea life with genes from Ephyran-Alarian ancestry, the Nepheli emerged as a unique blend of emotions, skills, and unwavering determination. Hailing from the waters of Lethassa, famously known as the Four Isles Sea, the Nepheli's presence has left a lasting impact. Born into a tumultuous era, their skills and tenacity played a pivotal role in bringing about peace across Aesor's diverse races.
