Darfellan
Herders of Giants
Darfellans are a race of orca-like humanoids who wander the world herding groups of whales and other sea creatures along their yearly journey. They're rarely ever seen by other species and have become a myth by most land dwellers.
The journey is not an easy one however, the sahuagin are constantly chasing after them for their own demonic purposes. This has dwindled their numbers down to the point that some darfellan pods think they're the only ones on the planet.
