Homebrew Gielinor Siren Species Details

(Created by Jagex, adapted for DnD5E by DragonZaid)

Sirens are a peaceful race of aquatic humanoids native to the eastern lands of the Wushanko Isles. Also known as seasingers, they share a deep connection with the ocean, and are known for their beautiful singing voices.

Appearance

Sirens have very slender figures compared to most humanoids, and are of average height. They have eyes and skin tones ranging from sea green to light blue. They have vertical fins on the tops of their heads, and hair-like tentacles hanging from their heads that typically fall just past the shoulder.

Seasingers

Sirens originate from Siren's Shell, an island in an area of the Wushanko Isles known as The Skull. Many others make their living in the coastal areas of The Arc, the westernmost region of Wushanko. Sirens have the innate ability to intertwine their singing voices with magic in a process known as seasinging, allowing them to speak with aquatic creatures and control water and the wind. While most Sirens are very peaceful, the most powerful and devious of them are said to be able to control colossal sea monsters and even the sea itself to do their bidding, to the detriment of unsuspecting sailors.

Siren Names

Sirens have gendered names between one and three syllables.

Male Names: Alder, Hari, Seaworth

Female Names: Boni, Keri, Name, Quin, Jemi, Kaula, Hakase, Umi, Remora
