The Sulini (A.:"Waveborn") were tall and slender Trader- and fisher-folk from the coastal areas of Tanara.Like the Wômaw ancient tales made them kinsmen of the Avari elves, although this was rather unlikely.Due to their uncommon appearance for folk of the far east they were often presumed to be of Talath or Zori descend. Most Sulini lived in fishing settlements along the coasts. Since they were Trader- and fisher-folk rather than deep-ocean Sailors, they were not accustomed to adventuring in faraway lands.However they had good nautical skills and often travelled to the major port to find a market for their talents and were recruited as skilled sailors.
