Vosh'tani
Deep beneath the waves of the great seas and waters of the world of Te'za lies a mysterious and in some forms confusing race. The stories of mermaids, people among the water, and great sea creatures comes from the long storied tales of the ancient peoples that live and swim beneath the waves. The Vosh'tani, or People of the Deep, are these people who live beneath the ocean. In just as much varied forms as the ocean life that inhabits around them.
