Ghorranii/Ghorranites
You are Ghorran, the race of river and sea-dwelling elemental spirits that live upon the surface of Abraeas’Dor, born to the great Abirrian god, Ghorrii, god of water, the ocean and civilization. Your people were created when molded out of wet clay by the shifting god, another name for Ghorrii himself, who’s body can morph and change as if he was made from wet clay.
Your origins as a species are the time Ghorrii’s magic ran amok, and the world’s land was rolled as Ghorrii played with the world itself, unleashing his reality warping powers, creating a number of unique creatures, the greatest of which were his clay figures that came to life, and thus, the Ghorran race was created.
Your people live deep underwater in the rivers of Abraeas’Dor, in the watery caverns of Roth, Thraxus’Nal, Ibanakar, and Abirria, and underground seas in the Depths and the Core. Your people have migrated throughout the rivers and seas of the world, and can be found almost anywhere in the world where a body of water can be found.
Your people are the greatest sculptors in the world, the greatest naturalist’s, and the greatest masons and architects in the world. Your people have long lived with fame and renown among the civilized societies of Abirria and Ibanakar. Your workers and masons take jobs all over the world in times of peace, and your architect's creations still stand in the massive megacities of Abirria.
Your people take the form of clay beings, can be small to large in size, and dissolve and travel through water as if you become ethereal in running water. Your cultural symbols are the pot and the tower of clay, and your bodies move as if they are liquid, but stay the same dark brown, dark red, or light grey color.
You can shrink and grow in size, can fit into small gaps of barely an inch in height or width, and your people do not grow hair, instead fashioning their heads in whatever they would like. Your people’s eyes are pitch black with little white ink blot-like spots, and your figure’s can be anything you would like.
