Nautl

Facial features are a bit more rounded, and often supplemented with ridges/small patches of scales, Small gills form behind the ears, Skin tones take on muted blues and greens above water, but their eyes are often shaded in a variety of colors. Their skins take on the tropical array of fish colors underwater. Some Nautil have long flowing hair, while others have spines, and other fish-like attributes.   The Nautil, or Depth Singers, were the Ilsiri that found the seas and oceans and rivers after finding their paths from the mother. Perhaps the most numerous type of Ilsiri, just due to the amount of land they have under the water, and their massive kelp forests, or coral mountains that exist beneath the waves. The Nautil do possess much of the grace of their above seas cousins, and in fact, will be found in Port cities, or even sometimes much further inland, as they accompany trade caravans. Above the water, their skin is often glossy, as they have a natural secretion meant to protect their skin from dehydrating, and they often come in all the colors of the sea and fish. There is a split that occurs amongst Nautil, that some of them have hair, where it comes in bright flowing waves, while others tend to be bald, and instead have spines or fins. There’s little to be hidden about a Nautil, as they live in a state of constant beauty, although where the industrial waste of some of the larger cities does lead to a Warlike tendency among the Nautil, as it pours into their waters, destroying miles of beauty in their perspective.
