Merrow
Merfolk exist they are a separate distinct race that evolved concordantly with humans, They call themselves the Merrow. Merrow with a power similar to the ardeur are known as sirens. Sirens have the power to "roll" the minds of people in a similar fashion to vampires. This ability is especially effective against other Merrow. It is in fact so much so that that Sirens in olden times were automatically rulers of their kind. Male Merrow that had the ability were especially cruel the power seemingly taking over them. Females tended to handle the power better initially but its double edged nature tended to overwhelm them and their Due to their potential power over other Merrow, sirens are traditionally slain by Merrow before they can become a danger.
The Merrow call themselves as a group the Grex instead of clan. Each Grex is led by the Oceanus and his/her Thethys the titles are interchangeable for either sex. The Oceanus being the undisputed leader of each Grex with the Thetys as their second cum advisor. They are usuallya mated pair of the most powerful Merrow in a region though not always. The Oceanus is protected by a cadre of guards called Tritons the leader of the Tritons is a position called the Pontus. Each Pontus is a chosen position by the Oceanus of each Grex.
The Thetys is protected by a pair of guards called the Tyndaridae. While the Oceanus is given the bulk of the best fighters in a Grex as their honor guard the Thetys are given the top two absolute best in the Grex. This is tested through rigourous trials executed over the course of several years known as the Skamma. The practice is a flawed one as the Skamma is a voluntary trial so some capable combatants choose to purposefully avoid it . It is considered bad form amongst the Grex to do so as the only intentions of some merrow not reveling in their abilities would obviously mean they were up to no good.
