.Lore of the Cramoravians:

Cramoravians are a race of semi-aquatic birdfolk known for their unpredictable and somewhat reckless behavior. Living near coastal regions, lakes, or riverbanks, they are expert swimmers and can often be seen diving headfirst into water to catch fish or other small creatures. While they are not known for their intelligence, Cramoravians have a strange cunning when it comes to survival, often using their natural abilities to escape predators or turn the tide in combat.

 

Their society is loosely organized, with small coastal villages led by the strongest divers or most experienced fishers. They tend to avoid conflict with other races but will defend their homes fiercely if threatened. Cramoravians have a curious relationship with magic, often seeing it as a natural extension of the world around them, and a few even dabble in druidic or aquatic-themed spells.

Amphibious:

You can breathe both air and water
