Blacksea

The Blacksea are a sentient species living primarily in the Mydlands.

Biology
While each Blacksea is completely biologically unique. in general the Blacksea are heavily-mutated sentients of various species. Their intellect varies from animalistic to supergenius, and their heights and weights also vary based on their species of origin and level of mutation.

History
The Blacksea were originally residents of a small Mydlands town called Eastoak. They were roughly five hundred in number and consisted of siltmen, dwarves, humans, and nephros. When the Volkarne demanded the Eastoak citizens move so the Volkarne could build a lucrative new vlox plant nearby, Eastoak refused. The plant was destroyed, as the Volkarne were not aware of vlox's extreme volatility, and the vlox flooded into the nearby bay and the Eastoak river.

The townspeople, rather than being killed by their exposure to vlox, were slowly driven insane by the radiation. Unprepared for the rainy season, the town flooded. While no one is sure how or why, two years later, the now-mutated citizens of the town, bearing fins and gills, emerged from the water and abandoned their town.

Culture
The Blacksea are defined by the disgust they are treated with by most other peoples. They harbour a hatred for the Volkarne like few other species.

Religion
The Blacksea worship the Parynts, due to their culture being mostly unexposed to Volkarne interests before the plant explosion.

Relationships with other sentients
The Blacksea, while fairly well understood in the Mydlands, often have difficulty finding employment due to their appearance, and do not often leave the province. Most Blacksea hate humans, as even those who originated as humans do not consider themnselves human anymore.

Military
Many Blacksea work as mercenaries.
