|Introduction=The Nahari are an amphibious race native to Fendralis, the archipelago that was once part of [[Orrakar]] before the sea reclaimed it. The Nahari are as comfortable beneath the waves as they are on land, their society built around the rhythms of the tides, the secrets of the abyss, and the delicate balance between survival and the unknown. | |Introduction=The Nahari are an amphibious race native to Fendralis, the archipelago that was once part of [[Orrakar]] before the sea reclaimed it.

Masters of reef navigation, deep-sea hunting, and guerrilla warfare, the Nahari control the waterways and ruins of their drowned homeland, repelling outsiders who dare to trespass. Their cities rise from the coral-covered cliffs, while their temples and sanctuaries descend into the abyssal depths, where even they do not always return unchanged. | Masters of reef navigation, deep-sea hunting, and guerrilla warfare, the Nahari control the waterways and ruins of their drowned homeland, repelling outsiders who dare to trespass.

|Origins and Nature=The Nahari are believed to be descendants of ancient Orrakari clans who were trapped by the rising seas. Over generations, they adapted to their new world, their bodies changing to suit both the open ocean and the labyrinthine ruins beneath the waves. Some Nahari still seek knowledge of their lost past, while others embrace the sea as their true home, believing Orrakar is long gone. | |Origins and Nature=The Nahari are believed to be descendants of ancient Orrakari clans who were trapped by the rising seas.
