So I'm back from assertive communication camp and am very tired, but I put together the species indigenous on Irmenu. I even started creating a language. In this post, I will talk about the siren/mermaids.
The draa are the indigenous species of Irmenu. Their traits and culture can vary. Not all of them have mermaid tails, if they have human ancestors they have legs and fins. Half draa usually have hidden fins that come out when they are in the water (if their parent is a freshwater draa, then they come out in freshwater)
There are 3 main branches(?) of draa.:
Freshwater
Shallowsea
Deepsea
Freshwater draa or Draa-alrus (Draa + al-of + rus-freshwater) live in ponds and rivers. Their numbers greatly went down. The ones that live in a river are 1 meter (3'3) to 1.2 meters (3'11) and mainly eat fish. They are nomadic, during winters they move to ponds and hibernate. Their relationship with humans is bad. Most of the time they hide and very rarely attack. The place where most of them live is a smaller island, where they only come out at night. (On that island draa are accepted. The group of humans that live on that island are one of the first settlers and kept a fine relationship with them).
The ones that live in still water are 1.3 (4.3) to 1.5 (4.11). They're omnivores and during winter they hibernate too. They live their lives in the place where they were born into. They have a better relationship with humans. Sometimes they go out in the daytime.
Shallow sea draa or Draa-alhoran (Draa + al-of + horan-sea). They live in both cold and warm seas. They average between 1.7 meters (5'7) to 2 meters (6'7). They are omnivores. Shallow sea draa are the most commonly confused with sirens. Some of them can use mind control. Long ago they lived in bigger cities but after the Hunt, they divided into smaller groups, like clans. Their relationship with humans is rocky. Sometimes they help pirates in demolishing Irmenu Navy ships, but it is like a "My enemies enemy is my friend" type of relationship. And most half draas parents are from this group. They are monogamous, they fall in love only once but "divorce" in their culture is allowed. Walon Vau's mother was a Shallow sea draa whos tribe lived around the island of Gesl
Deep sea draa or draa-alkharnhoran (Draa + al-of + kharn-deep + horan-sea) are around 2.5 meters (8'2) to 5 meters (16'5) and are carnivores. They don't have a (good) connection with humans, because the Irmenuan technology is not that developed to travel that deep.
Sorry that it took since my last post, I'm just really tired (I started writing this post on Saturday. But it's here, and I have Ideas for a story too. So i will start the writing process
