Merpeople

Merpeople, also called mermaids and mermen, are creatures with access to air and water magic. Merpeople can appear human if they choose do and control mind-warping powers through subsonic songs that bewitch humans.

Merpeople live in matriarchal schools, such as the Jade Tide School. Because mermen are sterile, mermaids need human males to reproduce. In the past, they ate their mates after copulation. More recently, they have ceased the practice to avoid retribution and shunning.

Kellum is a merman who lives in the Green Docks district of New Atlantis.
