The Whale Folk

The Rhythian are an elusive people, living over 2 miles under the ocean, off the coast of Giron. They rarely venture to the surface, their huge frames and lack of legs hinders them upon the land whereas in the water, they are as graceful as a flock of seabirds migrating. Spirituality is the main focus of the people of Rhyth. A respect for the living and the dead is of the utmost importance as well as a respect for Father Yenoo, Creator of Seas. A peace-loving race, they took a vow a long time ago that they will only fight is it is absolutely necessary. The song of a Rhythian is sweeter than the first apple of harvest. Unsuspecting ships have been run aground in the past due to the ‘deadly chorus’ as it is known. After the 'Great War of Oceans', (where the Hydroponos were rendered completely extinct) the Rhythians vowed never to harm another soul unless their lands were threatened by invaders or cataclysm. The Rhythian Whale folk are the longest living (but not the longest surviving, that title is held by the Lizardmen) of all races, usually surviving between 120 and 150 years without frailty.
