Merfolk

Found throughout the oceans of the multiverse, there are many Merfolk sub-species and cultures. Until recently, most Merfolk tended to be reclusive in nature, and would often flee and/or torment sailors. This disconnect from land-dwelling species only dissolved among Coastal Merfolk after continuous usage of Selune's transformative blessing without repercussions from their sea goddess Umberlee.   While some Merfolk cultures have started to accept and integrate with their land-dwelling counter-parts, others are still often wary or even hostile to outsiders including other Merfolk. Many Merfolk worship their goddess Umberlee out of fear, and often serve as member's of her clergy, but other less accepting Merfolk worship her with ambition and pray for great floods.
