Merman

The mermen, or the Dur'bar, are one of the original races of Iridia during the Days of Yore. They are primarily ocean dwellers, although they originally built a little village at the site which is now Halibar, in order to interact with the land dwellers.

They had hands and feet like Man, but with gills around their necks to be able to live and breathe under water. They could breathe perfectly well on land for limited periods but needed to return to the water to revitalize themselves. The ‘bar’ suffix of the towns’ names, as well as many other areas of interest around Halibar, were named in honour of the mermen, subsequently adopted by many families of Man living in and around Halibar.

They are able to use Olde Magic in its natural form, with a special affinity for water, and generally use tridents as weapons.

The leader of the mermen is Andobar.
