Tritons

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