=== The Shimmer ===
An ancient race of reptiles that dwell in the river of Amenai and the coast of Njord. The Merfolk have a majestic aquatic city in an underground reservoir beneath the city of Amenai, where they collect moisture from the desert and maintain the purity of the waterways.

Though the Merfolk have little direct contact with humans, much is attributed to their influence. If a child drowns, it is often blamed on them. Likewise, if a person is saved from drowning, it is common for it to be attributed to the beneficial intervention of a Merman. The waterways to Amenai are under strict control by the aquatic race, and though their direct force has not been felt in decades, sailors and captains that make regular port at Amenai know better than to insult the Men of the Streams.
