Description
Sea elves were not part of the original design by the gods. Like Eladrin, they were elves who were changed by the help of the divine. When the land connecting Razorleaf and Fairy's Rest was utterly destroyed in the War that broke the world, a large amount of elves were currently on it. Those elves sunk to the bottom of the raging waves and they would have died if not for intervention of Laia and Unknown the Mother of Bronze Dragons. They were given the ability to withstand the cold and breather underwater, as well as communicate with sea creatures. With their homes gone, those elves were forced to live there. Eventually they moved in a mass of land nearby that was mostly submerged into water. That land was later named, Merna. Once every 10 years they organize vast trips to visit their kin in Razorleaf by spending months travelling across the world.
