The Utui
C
The Utui are a race of cove-based merfolk, known for their unique ability to grow gills and fins when submerged in water, enabling them to dive into deeper waters. Their villages are mostly built in coastal areas, as they moor their floating villages in calm cove waters. This network of interconnected communities lead to a deeply familial connection and a deep connection to the nature around them. They worship Gods of the Ocean and the Land, as well as incorporating practices to worship the Five Moons; Dark One, Bright One, Winding Rose, Yolym, and the Little Sister. Despite their reliance on the ocean, the Utui have adapted to life on land in places, choosing to live on mountainsides when there is not a direct access to the ocean. Their history is often woven into tapestries, and there is a focus on more visual methods of keeping history, though as the Utui say, "From the waves we rise, and to the waves we return. The ocean claims all."
