View source for Tritons

'''Tritons''' are inhabitants of the deep [[ocean|seas]] beyond the continental shelf upon which [[Riparium]] sits. Tritons do not resemble [[merfolk]] in appearance, having legs and feet instead of fish-like tails. While they are powerful swimmers, tritons are perfectly capable of travelling on dry land as well. 

A rich Triton culture thrives hidden beneath the surface of the dark [[oceans]], wealthy and warlike empires and city-states standing upon the seabed with pelagic grandeur. Of these, only the location of [[Lothos]] is known to the surface, though others such as [[Scyros]] and [[Phocia]] have had occasional dealings with landwalkers. Tritons are a proud but suspicious race. Several states war against one another and slavery is common. 

Triton warriors, armed with spears and girded in bronze plate armour, are the chosen guardians for the [[temples]] of [[Neraeos]]. The wisest and possibly oldest of all Tritons is [[Maeander|Maeander, Augur of the Sea]], tutor to the [[Divine Order]] of [[Neraeos]].
