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. |

+ | The Sunna had just settled along the most southern tip of Aquanius and have been steadily pushing away from the shore for nearly two-hundred years. When the volcano erupted entire populations of nearby towns were wiped out by the ash cloud. Crops failed leading to starvation and riots fractured a growing culture. The Sunna culture that rebuilt after the volcano was greatly changed. | ||

+ | In place of their gods of the sea and storm, the Sunna worshiped the sun and fire. Magic had always been a part of their society, but now magicians rose in prominence as a mobile caste system took hold. At the top of the caste are the priests and magicians. A Sunna can move among castes by either marriage or deed. It is not impossible for those of the highest caste to be moved down, but it is highly unlikely. | ||

- | Sunna bodies have longer bones and smaller mass leading them to be taller and more lanky that other [[creatures:human|humans]]. As with other Sunitaken ethnic groups they have a long straight nose free of humps or curve. Head shape is generally long with a high forehead and cheek bones. Hair is generally dark, black being the most common, and straight with no to little curl. Eye color generally is dark-brown or black. | + | The Sunna are big-boned with powerful muscular bodies with those indulgent enough tending towards obesity. Unlike other Sunitaken ethnic groups they have a flatter nose, wider face, and thick neck. Head shape is more circular with a short forehead and thick skull. Hair is generally black and straight with gentle waves or curls. Eye color generally is dark-brown or black. Everything from their fingers, hands, toes, and feet is thicker than other [[creatures:human|humans]]. |
+ | |||
+ | While they can grow long hair on their head they have very little hair elsewhere. Few Sunna are capable of growing even a small mustache or beard and their chests are devoid of all but a few wisps of hair. Suuna females tend to average larger bust sizes and wider hips and other humans. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Although they would seem to be well-suited to colder climates the Sunna originally come from the islands near the equator and the tip of [[atlas:Aquanius]]. They are not suited for fast running; although they are quick enough for a few seconds. Instead their physical bodies are better suited for extended periods of endurance. | ||
