The mer people of the ocean depths.

Tritons have tall, lean, willowy bodies covered in a fine mesh of silvery blue scales. They have smooth piscine faces, with globular eyes over which snap special membranes to protect them from silt and grit. They lack noses but have nostrils and small mouths equipped with sharp, serrated teeth. Gills cut across their chests, allowing them to draw air from water.

Triton Language: the Triton language has no spoken form. Instead, people versed in it make hand gestures that match the signs of the written form. A complex language with nearly 1,000 gestures and symbols, few other than tritons have been able to master it.
