	'''Aquatic Elves''' or '''Sea Elves''', as their name suggests, are a branch of the [[elf]] family tree that have taken on an amphibious lifestyle, leading to them being sort of an interstitial state between elves and [[merfolk]]; gills and webbed digits allow them to live and move quickly under the water, but a bipedal bodily configuration lets them leave the water and adventure alongside other humanoids.

	Though they suffer from the same problem as any other aquatic race in that they are generally unpopular, aquatic elves have appeared throughout the history and settings of [[Dungeons & Dragons]], having appeared in [[Creature Crucible\|PC3: The Sea Peoples]] for BECMI, the [[Complete Book Series\|Complete Book of Elves]], and "Sea of Fallen Stars" for [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] 2nd edition, the [[Monster Manual]] 1, [[Environment Book Series\|Stormwrack]], [[Races of ~~X\|Races of]] [[Forgotten Realms\|~~Faerun]] and [[Races of ~~X\|Races of]] [[Dragonlance\|~~Ansalon]] for [[Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition]], and Inner Sea Races for [[Pathfinder]].

	The sea elves are followers of the gods throughout all the ages of Krynn, even when the gods have been absent. Most sea elves venerate Abbuku the Fisher ([[Habbakuk]]) and Kisla the Mother of Sea Creatures ([[Chislev]]) above most other gods. However, worship is also strong for Estarin ([[Branchala]]), Ke-en ([[Mishakal]]), Matheri ([[Majere]]), and Krijol ([[Kiri-Jolith]]), as well as for the three gods of magic; [[Solinari]], [[Lunitari]] and [[Nuitari]]. The worship of Zura the Maelstrom ([[Zeboim]]) is almost as strong as for the two primary deities of the sea elves, and she is the chief deity of the residents of Urione. Outside of Urione, worship of Zura is done mostly in secret. In the kingdom of Watermere, some minor worship of four Dargonesti gods takes place, who are believed to have been historical figures who have had small religions based around them. In truth, they are not true gods and can offer nothing to their followers. The gods are known as Kailthis the Beautiful (goddess of love and fertility), Tumarq (god of tradesman), Daidlin (goddess of sea flora and fauna), and Randoril’thi (god of luck).

	In the past, the Dargonesti and Dimernesti led a rather fractured coexistence under the waves, but during the Age of Mortals, the two types of sea elves have formed a much closer bond. The sea elves have close ties with the [[Sea Kin\|Children of the Sea]], [[merfolk]], sea giants, and brathnocs. The sea elves are mortal enemies of the [[Ghoul\|lacedons]] and [[koalinth]]s, as well as the chilkits and the magori.

	The Dimernesti once held a strong relationship with the Silvanesti. However, after the Cataclysm, and again after the War of the Lance, the two allowed those bonds to fade. The Dargonesti consider both the Silvanesti and Qualinesti to be arrogant and stagnant; however, they are friendly with the Kagonesti, who hold beliefs similar to theirs. Other races, such as [[human]]s, [[dwarves]], [[gnome]]s, and [[kender]], are considered curiosities. Sea elves have been known to rescue drowning sailors, nursing them back to health and sending them back to the surface. [[Minotaur]]s are hated by the sea elves; any minotaur sailors spotted in the ocean are allowed to drown. Seeing a pattern with Sea Elves here? First the Sahuagin in Pelinore, the Koalinth and Merrow in Forgotten Realms, and now the Minotaurs of Dragonlance, these guys are pricks. Granted, Dragonlance Minotaurs are also assholes, being culturally based on the Spartans.		The Dimernesti once held a strong relationship with the Silvanesti.

	[[Pelinore]] arguably defined the most iconic traits of the aquatic elves, namely their bitter enmity for the [[sahuagin]] and their general doucheness. On Pelinore, the aquatic elves are characterized as a race of pricks who feuded with the Sahuagin for years, then when a catastrophe brought danger to their own territory, demanded the Sahuagin let them into Sahuagin territory as refugees. When the Sahuagin told them to fuck off, they responded in rage and attempted to invade and set up colonies. This resulted in a war which saw an argument amongst the gods themselves. This argument resulted in one of their own, Pharastus, becoming the Chaotic Evil God of Death, before allying with the rival gods of the [[Orc]] and [[Giant]] pantheon. So the Sea Elves' assholishness caused a massive shitshow and nearly fucked the world.

This was all before later editions changed the Sahuagin to be more like Nazis, presumably to make the Aquatic Elves more sympathetic.
