Half-elves that are sea-born are doubly blessed (or doubly cursed, depending on who you ask) for having a dual nature of both the land and the sea. And they’re rare, so one rarely knows if the rumors about them being a bit...weak. Or fickle. Or unable to stick to anything, well...it’s just so hard to say whether or not they’re true, right? And after all, their other parent did decide to have relations with a drybreather so...one has to wonder if they were quite right in the head either. On the other hand, there are several ballads about famous half-sea elf heroes. IF they aren’t a wastrall or a vagrant...they have, in the past, been known for great deeds. Hm.
Walking in two worlds but truly belonging to neither, half-elves combine what some say are the best qualities of their elf and human parents: human curiosity, inventiveness, and ambition tempered by the refined senses, love of nature, and artistic tastes of the elves.
Those born to sea-elf parents have a 50% change of being naturally amphibious. And many of those who are choose to live their lives below the waves. Sea-elves pregnant by a human will leave the ocean until after the birth of the child, to prevent the risk of their drowning upon birth.
