Mermaids

Merfolk, or mermaids are the colloquial term for Sea Elves, a breed of elves who used the same process the Sylvan Elves used to create the original elvish kind, only they tailored their biology for living under water. There are salt water and fresh water mermaids and they are a hermaphroditic feminine race.

They are generally considered a myth, but often interact with the people living on the coasts of Niangara where their capital New Atlantis lies submerged just off the lower eastern coast. Under normal conditions, the Sylvan Elves would be a common sight in the Earthborn Empire, however, since the lockdown of Ithiliel following the Great War, no elves are seen at all. The mermaids have always been shy, but did not lock down their home, so in current times, they are actually easier to find, although not even confirmed by academic sources.
