Serenian (species)
The Sirenian race is a peculiar, hybridised people born of many generations of interbreeding between the Arkheran, Ilazari, and Elarondian settlers on the beautiful Isolas Sereni. Their magic, when present, is mild, and they have a distinct mixture of the youthfulness of elves and the gauntness of spellbinders. They tend to have tiny little tails too, a trait adored and mocked by visitors.
Generally a happy people, the Sirenians are happy to take their purer-blooded counterparts into their beautiful island paradises, and they're even happier to take their money through various tourist destinations. The Sirenians may be a peculiar, unique race, but they're arguably one of the most prosperous.
Additional Information
Facial characteristics
Sirenian faces are unilaterally hairless, small-nosed, and somewhat feminine. They usually have partially-pointed ears and grow their hair out long.
Geographic Origin and Distribution
Serenians are almost exclusively found in the Isolas Sereni, as this is where the race first formed and emigration is rare due to the carefree life of the people.
Average Intelligence
Serenians tend to be relatively uneducated but perfectly intelligent and willing to learn. Serenian culture emphasises hospitality and enjoyment of life, so while friendly, many Sirenians are only as smart as they need to be.
Civilization and Culture
Naming Traditions
Sirenian naming conventions tend towards a fusion of Ilazari, Elarondian, and Arkheran naming conventions from elven, spellbinder, and necromantic cultures.

Interspecies Relations and Assumptions
The Serenians are generally on good terms with most other races, likely due to being originally comprised of many different cultures coming together to found a community on a set of beautiful, isolated islands. They have reputations as profiteers who charge extortionate prices for tourism and casinos set upon the isles, but most foreigners ignore these reservations and enjoy their stay with the Sirenian people.
