Nemurians

The Nemurians are the ocean dwelling descendants of Nemur. Despite his more diplomatic and pacifist approach to things, they Nemurians still deem Nemur to be their hero. This has never necessarily changed their warrior tendencies, but has allowed them a relationship with the Edicians.

Nessians

Also known as Freshwater Aquarians, they primarily inhabit fresh water sources such as swamps and lakes. They are the introverted cousins of the Nemurians, choosing seclusion. Many of the communities are forged in secret requiring several levels of knowledge to access. While Nessians do interact with other communities, they are very careful not to give away the location of their hidden homes. This is due to a distrust with others outside their own community thanks to their exile by the Edician Council, but also thanks to the desire of war from their cousins. This isn’t to say they are pacifists. Nessians will fight to the death to protect the secrecy of their people. Unlike their reckless cousins, they tend towards more strategic methods of victory utilizing their skill and environment against their opponent. When the opportunity comes to vanish, they will often take it. Unlike the Nemurians, the Nessians skin tone is closer to that of Edicians naturally. Despite this, they find it more difficult to hide their Aquatic features. Alternatively, Nessians have the ability to blend with their aquatic environments to hide.   Ability Score Improvement: Your Dexterity Score Increases by 1.   Water Camouflage: Your skin and fins can change their color to match the surrounding aquatic environment.
