After a few years of being poatched by humans, elfs, etc. Many fled back into the ocean, no longer being able to face their hunters. The only leagacy they left behind is a few run down temples. Only a few hundreds stayed on the land, either fasinated with the land outside of the sea, or they were just oblivious to the slaughter of their people.
