Nautali

Nautali are gilled humanoids who cannot breathe air without technological help. They are smart, strong, and enduring from living underwater and having to come up with more ways around things. They were the first created and are very ritualized, having created a sort of religion around “The Founders” and technology. They are very xenophobic and don’t like any of the other races coming in to their territories. They believe they have the correct knowledge of everything and are quick to correct the other races.
