			Athamaru have a great reverence for the leviathans and other aquatic life of the ocean's depths. They form strong bonds with animals, often
			welcoming them into their families as full fledged members. This gives them a perspective of preservation, and a desperation to keep poachers'
			and aggressive sahaugin from harming the wild life of their oceans.


			Generally athamaru are not religious, instead focusing on self development and the upbringing of the next generation. The closest thing to worship
			they participate in is oral histories, and symbolic rituals.

	Each community consists of genetically related Athamaru, typically all born from a single parent. In most settlements, the parent is known as the matriarch and serves as the leader. When this parent nears the end of their life or otherwise stops laying eggs, several Athamaru in the community choose to undergo certain physical changes, including an increase in size, to announce their intention to become the next matriarch. The decision to be considered a matriarch isn't taken lightly, as the eventual leadership role is responsible for the community's survival and continuation. Each community selects their next matriarch from these “hopefuls” in their own way. Such traditions include democratic elections, trials of knowledge, and contests of physicality involving deep diving or riding untamed wildlife.

			Athamaru dwell in spread out villages all along the oceans deeper reefs. They are generally wary of outsiders, and slow to trust; however they
			form very strong social bonds when they do trust someone. These bonds often involve a ritualistic bonding in which the Athamaru will bring the
			outsider into their tribe and family as an honorary member. They take these bonds very seriously, and the betrayal of an Athamaru community will
			result in the distrust and even hatred of following generations for as long as their bloodline remains connected.

			Athemaru vary from village to village, but most have large fins along their backs, large mouths
			and glassy fishlike eyes. They are vaguely humanoid but have fins along their limbs. Their heads
			and necks are usually much wider than other humanoid races, and gives them room to eat large amounts
			of underwater plankton and wildlife.
