|Introduction=The Morusi are a race of humans who live in the swamps of [[Payalwa]]. They are influenced by the [[Ascendant Spirit|Ascendant spirit]] of myth and folklore the [[Moevre]] and the swampland to which they call home.
|Biology and Physical Traits=The Morusi have amphibian like eyes allowing them to adapt to the muddy/wet conditions of their home. The Morusi also have the ability to hold their breaths for long periods of time. In addition they have a thin coating on their skin allowing them to avoid certain toxins and other environmental dangers.
|Origin and Nature=Like all Humans, the Morusi are descendants of the [[Ankasa]], the original human's who arrived on the physical plane of [[Orethil]].
|Biology and Physical Traits=The Morusi skin tones are generally light skinned with fair hair. They trend on the taller side of humans.
|Culture and Society=The Morusi have a unique governing structure. The government is run by a male only society known as the Society of Truth. Membership and induction in the society is secret. The society issues proclamation through the Voices. Their is nominally a Voice in each population center. The Voices are, according to themselves, not members of the society themselves.
 
The Morusi tend to value close family units and allegiance to their individual settlements. While known throughout [[Adaris]] as great storytellers, with some able to literally bring stories to life, they tend to view other races as less than. While not isolationist, the remote nature of Payalwa tends to limit contact with outside influences.
