Lazulians

Brief:

The Lazulians are an old race, they are said to have extensive empires under the ocean, but due to their secret lifestyles and rarity no outsider has ever been able to confrim this. The Lazulians that we do know about are Human sized with blue skin and webbed hands and feet, they also have gills on their necks and some have fins on their elbows,knees and even head. Lazulians that have contacted terrestrial humanoids have established colony's about water and have adapted quite well to live landing, so long as they don't stray to far from the sea. Lazulians stay away from the empires of Senios that enslave them, or grind their bones up for medicine. Pocros has the largest Lazulian City with a population of 20,000 . The city is 1/2 submerged in the ocean and is called the Blue Gem due to its actual name not being able to be pronounced by the common tongue. Many Lazulians that want to explore become seafarers or priests to their deity Aqwais. The Lazulians that inhabit the isles to the east of Nor'Hardt are outcasts of the empires below. They historically took on the role of pirates and brigands, however in recent times they have settled down but their fierce reputation allowed them to escape the persecution by humans that their Fawl neighbors endured. Humans are unable to interbreed with Lazulians, however there was once a great Fawl Chieftan who was said to be half Lazulian and stood 8 feet tall and able to lift entire adult trees out of the ground by the roots.

The Lazulians are one of the original races and can trace their origins prior to the time where the Dwarves made the terrestrial continents for the giants to live one. In fact Dwarves and Giants use to hunt the Lazulians thinking them to be beasts instead of sentient. Over time the Lazulians became accepted as one of the four original races of Loria ( others are Dwarves, Giants, and Demons). There are multiple massive underwater empires with the largest being between Nor’hardt and Senios called the Aruli Empire.  Lazulians have many different cultures across the planet, and the phenotypically vary drastically. Some in fact don’t even have legs. Lazulians have a mistrust of all the other races except the very rare fawl , the mistrust is because the Lazulians are always judged and their rarity doesn't help the situation.

Lazulians tend to be very respectful and elegant even during the times they are robbing you blind, they believe in a life of elegance and spirituality.

The Lazulians were created when the god Zulir and goddess Lapie embraced and formed the blue planet of Loria. This was before any other god or humanoid, there was just the sky and the sea. Zulir represents the sky and Lapie represents the sea. Most Lazulians worship both gods, they believe when you die if your a fierce warrior you’ll become part of the sky joining Zulir strength that is strong enough to erode mountains. If you die a good life you become part of the sea and will be the source of life for the planet. If you live an evil life you will be caught in an endless cycle of reincarnation. Lazulians who live on land either are atheist, or adopt other gods. However Lazulians who become pirates or sailors will often continue the worship of their original gods.
