The Sui
Freedivers of the archipelago
This article is a stub. Please comment if you would like it to become a priority for expansion.
The Sui are a group of humans that inhabit part of the Jasperic Isles, a large archipelago to the west of the continent of Aenica. They live on a cluster of three islands towards the southern end of the archipelago. They maintain a close relationship with the local merfolk.
The Sui as a people have evolved over milennia to be able to hold their breath longer than most other humans, and begin training their children to do so from a young age. They are freedivers, and almost half of their sustenance comes from the sea floor, including shellfish and crustaceans. They also collect shells and pearls for trade.
Is there any folklore involving human/merfolk relationships, possibly with an idea that the Sui have some ancestral connection to the merfolk?
Oh there definitely will be folklore relating to that. Thank you! :)
