Mermaids & Mermen 
A race of sea dwelling humanoids.  These creatures were adopted into the fey swirls and soon became interbred with Fey to varying degrees.  They rarely deal with land dwellers except in extreme circumstances.  They frequently save shipwrecked sailors and drag them to shore.  They are known to drag down pirate ships.   The mermen are devoutly military.  They can live for as long as a year out of water.  Mermaids must return to the water weekly.  They delight in making the mermen jealous, usually with good reason.
