Homebrew Fish People Species Details
Fish People are believed to be descendants of the Goddess Nadia, Mother of Depths. Nadia flooded the world with water to fill the depths of the world. Her descendants vary in appearance and often resemble ocean creatures, eels, fish, coral, squirt, octopus, etc., to different degrees. Some look exactly like humans, while others are almost unmistakable as sea creatures. Fish people can breathe both on land and underwater. Followers of Nadia are not limited to Fish People, nor do all Fish People worship Drotix. While other races may have come from the sea and left, Nadia’s followers take pride in staying. Many Fish People who follow Drotix live in underwater cities where none Fish People rarely go. Followers of Nadia seek challenges, glory, and to conquer. Whether it is conquering the oceans themselves, other kingdoms, or their profession, they take pride in their passion. Nadia is the Goddess of the Oceans, War, Crafting, Destruction, Passion, and Chaos.
