Homebrew Aquan Species Details
Aquans, also known as Landwalkers, are the denizens of the shallows. They come in all shapes and sizes, as well as species, and have their own complex societies and cultures beneath the waves. It is thought that they are descended from the mythical merfolk, and many of their legends detail dealings with them-though no Aquan alive has actually met one. Despite this, they maintain positive dealings with many seafaring cultures, being known as shepherds and caretakers of the ocean-and thus the ones sailors need the favor of in order to travel safely across the oceans.
