The [[creatures:merfolk]] that lived near the islands took up the boon asked of the [[lore:magi]] of the elves. They not only taught them about magic, but seamanship, simple crafting, and fishing. Until the [[lore:Classic Age]] merfolk symbolism still featured heavily in Sunna art. This changed when [[atlas:Mount Hurlikeen]] erupted. |
