Merpeople

**Merpeople** are human-fish hybrids with the ability to use magic. They possess special powers and can be enhanced in many ways.

## Pods

The natural mermaids have a group, a pod. It's their family and they have a council. The council has a leader that is also the leader of the pod. They also have laws.

### Laws

* A mermaid can't use the Enchantment Song.
* A mermaid can't have any type of bond with a land people
* A mermaid can't use the Moon Ring to have legs unless the pod council allows it.
* A mermaid must keep a land people out of the moon pool especially in the full moon.
* A mermaid can't fall in love with a human.
* A mermaid can't be to close from land.
* A mermaid can't reveal her powers to a human
* A mermaid can't have an association with mermans.

Some laws can be broken only when allowed by the council and in extreme situations. If a mermaid breaks this rules without the permission of the council the mermaid can be outcasted.
