Fishmen

The History
Every inch of Astranaar is a home to different creatures, one of the most interesting ones are considered to be the Fishmen. Much of their history is unknown including their creation. The Wanderers one of the oldest races in Astranaar have stories to tell about the Fishmen. Fishmen are usually found near large lakes, rivers and sea-lines. They live in small tribes that often fight between each other and cause mischief to other races. If there's a body of water in an area you can pretty much be sure there will be Fishmen. Not much is know about their language they communicate with strange bestial sounds but they do seem to have differing dialects depending on their region or even tribe. Their language is called Fishtounge.

Society
The fishmen live in small isolated pockets across the Realm, they mostly mind their own business. Their tribes are led by Shamans, these shamans have some skill related to Arkada but it's very basic and often novice mages can outwit them. Their tribes consist usually of 5 to 10 members. Incest is a very common practice. They are very hostile to outsiders but don't attack unless provoked.

Physiology
They are very short creatures only standing around 1.30m typically. Males can be discerned from females by their usually exotic colored fins and head trim. Most fish men can use primitive tools and weapons to build or defend themselves. Life expectancy is considered to be very short with lots of offspring.
