i think they SHOULD be old. like, the people who lived in the sunken city were faeries with a water element. OOH OH!!! Story Suggestion: The land of Destina was mostly a peaceful place, but there were some outlaws, and, in the days of old, outlaws were executed. It was a standard practice, carried out by the royalties of the various ethers. Once, there lived a young Echa (girl or boy, you decide) who had lost his/her parents to an illness. She/He lived on the outskirts of the ether, stealing, as was necessary, to stay alive. His/her element was water. She/he was stealing fruit from the market one day, when he/she was caught. As was standard procedure, she/he was taken to the palace for trial. Terrified of prosecution, frightened of death, and on the verge of collapse, he/she fled to an island far from land. He/she swam for days, and once upon the island, named it Enidweith. From that day forward, outlaws poured in from far and wide, seeking shelter for their various crimes. Then, one fateful day, the island began to sink, slowly but surely. It took weeks for the people to notice, and by the time they did, it was far too late. The island was still exposed, but more than half the population had drowned in the floods. Only the king/queen and a few of the other water elements survived. Eventually, they adapted to life underwater, making themselves homes in what was left of their island. They became mermaid like creatures, shrouded in mystery, until everyone forgot they existed..... dun dun dun. yeah, i kinda get really into these plot things. XD

I think they should be the wisest of all the races o.O you know full of much knowledge as they have lived since the realms began. I think internal wars would be cool, like little battles between the merpeople, maybe fighting for territory OR WAIT HOL UP HOL UP it can be like this comic book I read once! there used to be a king who ruled the mer people, but he died or wa skilled (i dont know) and then no one could decide who would rule next, so their was two kings, The king of the west seas and the king of the east, or south and north whichever works better. and the sea is pretty much split up between mer people of the east/west/south/north and the kings are constantly battling it out wanting to be the one king who rules it all.

oooohh! that sounds really cool!! We could develop that idea further! But wouldn't it be kind of confusing to have 2 royal families for the Ilusen race? just saying..
I also agree that they should be the wisest of all the races!
Adi, I also love your idea! Both stories are reaaally interesting and they could develop into something really cool.
Any more ideas?

It would be a little confusing, but if you made it work it woud be really cool because what other race has two royal families? Just saying = P plus once cannons were filled it would make for good plots if say the prince of the east had an affair with a princess of the west, ect
im so excited for this ^^
