Yrasda

Article written by Uziel

In the wake of the Cataclysm, some Irda chose to dwell in the sea rather than the land. These Irda altered their bodies and became the first of the yrasda (sea-dwelling Irda). Over time, the yrasda formed into three distinct clans: the aphelka, the thanic, and the ushama. The three clans were formed based on the views and ideals of the yrasda and pointed to the alignment and disposition of the race. These clans also developed their abilities and can shapechange into one form. The aphelka learnt how to change into a squid, the thanic into a carp, and the ushama into a killer whale.

The Yrasda are a nomadic people, whom dwell in small tribes across the ocean floor between Ansalon and Taladas. The Ushama are good-aligned yrasda whom trade with other beings and are akin to nature and peace-loving. The Thanic are violent and openly aggressive to others. They will deal with other types of yrasda, but will attack almost any other type of humanoid on sight. The Aphelka are harmless unless attacked, and will often deal with other humanoid races. Yrasda have skin tones ranging from deep blue to deep green. They have beautiful voices and are every bit as graceful as their land-dwelling cousins.
