Homebrew Eaurian Species Details

Sirens, mysterious disappearances of ships, the lady of the lake that granted Arthur Excalibur.

All thought to be seperate and wildly different entities; yet nothing could be farther from the truth.

Eaurians have been known to be xenophobic-until-trusting. For thousands of years they've lived peacefully in their seas and lakes, only hunting other waterbound entities.
That all changed when groundwalkers started to try and dominate the waters with their giant ships of wood and metal. Their anchors destroying the homes of a peaceful species, unbeknownst to the aggressors.

The spiral-tipped arrows, forged in the crevaces of underwater volcanoes, previously only used to hunt, were now used to chip away at the crews and sails of the wooden behemoths.
Without warning, volleys of strange arrows arose from the depths and made quick work of the sailors. Ships were sunk to hide any trace of an attack and to provide for a source of wood and cloth for the Eaurian's arrows and light armours.
