Editing Idoneth Deepkin (section)

==Enclaves==
The "factions" of the Deepkin are the Enclaves, city-states founded under the seas of the realms connected by underwater realm gates called Whirlways. Whilst there are, as expected with such a large setting, countless Enclaves, there are six main ones that have been fleshed out.

*'''Ionrach''': [[Ultramarines|The posterboys, who have their armour painted a shiny blue and also have a venerable leader from a forgotten age]]. The Ionrach are one of the first enclaves that ran from the rays of Teclis into the seas of Hysh, though they have since emigrated to Ghyran. Notably the most "friendly" of the enclaves, to the point where they will actually co-operate with the other forces of Order. They, under High King Volturnos, call most often for the assembrals, large scale meetings of the Idoneth.
*'''Dhom-Hain''': The polar opposites of the Ionrach, being the first to part ways with their fellow Deepkin to settle in the ''literal hellscape'' that are the seas of Ghur. Seriously, imagine every lethal predator that ever lived in our seas but 10x larger and there's ridiculous amounts of them. They settled in a deep chasm, where lots of the Fangmora Eels lurked. This meant that they use more Akhelians than other enclaves. Once went to Ghyran and fought some Sylvaneth until Alarielle kicked their asses over it. Said battle cost them a valuable ancestral heirloom, which several Dhom-Hain nobles have tried and failed to retrieve. For centuries they have not attended the assembrals, only having come back very recently to discuss a matter which they believed to threaten their entire kind.
*'''Fuethan''': Living in the seas of Aqshy means that these Deepkin are especially aggressive, especially when collecting souls. Whilst enclaves like the Ionrach would spare the soul of say, a child, the Fuethan would do no such thing and have even been known to [[RIP AND TEAR|hack away at their foes' bodies even when they're long dead]]. Unlike the other enclaves, they care little for the balance in between Akhelian and Isharann in their ruling council, giving pretty much total control to the war-like Akhelians. The Fuethan also believe that the souls of other elves are best to replenish themselves, and target other elves almost exclusive for their soul raids. Unsurprisingly, they have also been responsible for more Idoneth infighting than any other enclave. Needless to say, the Fuethan are also some of the cruelest to their Namarti and have a regular ritual, reminiscent of Ancient Sparta's treatment of their Helot slave caste, where young Akhelians go out to slaughter as many as they can (one that horrifies most other enclaves).
*'''Mor'Phann''': Dour and pale, the Mor'Phann inhabit the dark seas in Shyish. They use lots of mist and pale tentacled creatures, many were hit especially hard by the Necroquake and being outed by Nagash, to the point where they had to ally with the Stormcast to not die. Particularly adept at soul-magic now, they seem to have more of a tendency to keep their Namarti alive during battle by reviving them, where other enclaves prioritize the use of souls at home for new generations of Namarti. Their newest innovation was to use their soul-harvesting magic to take long-dead souls from afterlives or the undead.
*'''Briomdar''': These guys used to be a part of the Ionrach, before declaring independence and settling in the middle of an undersea kelp forest in Ghyran. Experts at navigating terrain and ambushes - even by Idoneth standards - they camouflage themselves in kelp to leap out at unsuspecting passerbys. As an Ionrach off-shoot, they're the second most willing to ally with non-Idoneth. They're particularly friendly with the Sylvaneth and are doing their best to find a cure for the Idoneth's soul malady.
*'''Nautilar''': An enclave that literally [[Awesome|lives on the shell of a giant crusteacean]] called the Giant Scaphodon. Recently they took quite a beating from some [[Skaven]] that tunnelled underwater using the corpses of dead sea-animals, only to be saved by the arrival of the High King and Stormcast allies. Also used to be a part of the Ionrach, they have an interest in large sea-creatures rivalled only by the Dhom-Hain, so they make use of lots of Leviadons. They live in harmony with their host, protecting the gigantic creature and receiving a home in return.
