Marin
Races • DnD 5e
Appearance
Marin is a race of aquatic humanoids that dwell in rivers, oceans and lakes of the world. They have dark blue skins and pale yellow fins along their forearms and feets. They have a dolphin-like fin and bright yellow eyes that help them to survive in deep waters. Along their torso are these small holes called trous that marin’s use to emanate a white noise that messes with the minds of mortals
Culture
Marins value wealth above all and are willing to do anything to attain them. To marins, wealth signifies power, survival, intellect and so on. Marins amass wealth via many ways with extortion, trade and services being a few of them. They would try anything to get one up over their enemies but at the same time feign friendliness and cooperation with the same people. This game of mercantile politics is the foundation of modern marin Megaports. One the surface, things may look well organized but to the ones who had to live there knows the skeletons in their closets.
History
Marin used to start as a mercantile race that traveled over large swaths of oceans carrying materials from faraway lands. Marin merchants are sought after but everyone knows to be wary around them. Their cutthroat style of dealing makes betrayal not a matter of if but when. In the modern day, marins control most of the coastal cities and their megaports become the center of trade and criminal activities.
Location
Marin built the Megaports at the intersection of trade routes. They also sometimes assimilate with nearby port towns turning those cities into similarly cutthroat locations like their hometown.

These marin were later known as plage marin and they usually have wider fins adapted to traveling the seas.
Profond ( Deepgol )
Marins create large underwater structures using corals and other aquatic materials to create their cities. Often these homes grow so large over generations that they breach the surface of the oceans and become ocean ports for the cities. These marins are adept
