Triton

Originally from the Elemental Plane of Water, many tritons entered the Material Plane centuries ago in response to the Invasion of the Primordials. Those tritons spread across the worlds’ oceans, fighting for their newfound land underwater. Over time, triton have extended their stewardship over the sea floor to the ocean’s surface but were always met as enemies of the Laneshi. still in a constant war with other aquatic folk they were pushed back now have their empire to the South of Etharis.
Tritons have webbed hands and feet, small fins on their calves, and coloration that favors blues and greens.
Tritons guard the ocean depths they already conquered, building small settlements beside deep trenches, portals to the elemental planes, and other dangerous spots far from the eyes of land-bound folk. Long-established guardians of the deep ocean floor, in recent years the noble tritons have become increasingly active in the world above.
As a result of their isolation and limited understanding of the Material Plane, tritons can come across as haughty and arrogant. They see themselves as caretakers of the sea, and they expect other creatures to pay them deep respect, if not complete deference. This attitude might grate on others, but it arises from a seed of truth. Few know of the tritons’ great victories over dreadful undersea threats. The tritons make little allowance for such ignorance and are delighted to expound upon the great debt others owe them.
Tritons also have a tendency to emerge from their isolation under the assumption that other folk will welcome them as respected Kings and mentors. Again, distance drives much of this attitude. The tritons’ limited view of the world leaves them ignorant of the kingdoms, wars, and other struggles of the surface world. Tritons readily see such concerns as minor events, a sideshow to the tritons’ role as the world’s true protectors.
