Naian

=Overview=
 * Naians are who the Manteans and Syrens are often measured against.
 * Their homewaters are the Twilight Sea, which encompasses the pelagic realm below the High Ocean, as far down as light is capable of reaching.
 * Naians tend to possess the most primal spirituality and make the best hunters.
 * There are more autonomous Naian pods than any others.
 * Naians have the greatest understanding of dolphins, and virtually every Naian pod has at least one Fin member.
 * Naians are tall and blade-slim, with sleek muscles. Their complexion ranges from dusky copper to golden bronze. They tend towards blue-black hair and dark eyes. Very dark, midnight blue eyes are common.
 * A Naian rite of passage is to kill a little eater, which is merely three times their size, without assistance. This is how they earn their 'milk knife', which is a translucent, razor-sharp tooth that comes from an abyssal species of great eel. It is very dense and flashes milk white in the light.
 * A milk knife is always worn against the flesh. To do something extremely stupid is to 'cut one's self on their own milk knife'.
 * Naians make extensive use of tattoos, combined with an iridescent, light-reactive ink that comes from a rare species of squid. It is used to express their lineage and accomplishments. Both Manteans and Syrens use tattoos as well, but not to the extent of the Naians.
