Leerian

(LEER-ee-in)

Leerians thrive in watery environments. Despite being most commonly associated with the ocean, Leerian communities can be found in and around lakes, marshes, rivers, and even rainforests. Even so, oceans remain their most prestigious domain, with underwater cities that are beacons of Leerian science and high society. Even outside of those cities, Leerian art and architecture is always distinctive in its swirling, spiraling intricacy.
