My Deep Dwellers are very similar the Wavedancers of ELfQuest. On this Planet, The elves
came from the same planet the highones of ElfQuest did, but landed safely and with purpose. This group of Highones in
particular went to live by the ocean and became a fishing village. For the first two or three generations, they lived on land,
near the waters edge, and lived on fish and other sea food as well as some food from the near by forest. It was only after
those couple of generations that the humans found their village and attacked them out of fear. It was then these elves fled
to the ocean that had sustained them, seeking sanctuary from the humans in a place the humans could not go, the deep waters
of the sea. The Highones that still lived in the tribe shape changed the survivors and made it possible for them to live in
their new environment. They found underwater caves that were dry on the inside, and moved their tribe into them, shaping
air shoots to the surface to make it safe to build fires, and for air to breath when not submerged. They became close
to a pod of underwater beasts and learned to hunt underwater from watching them. The biggest difference between my tribe and
that of ElfQuest is the fact that my tribe has a history of living on land and a bit of a fighting spirit. This Spirit derives
from their time lived on land. Where they had a harder life to live with the changing weather and the larger
beasts that occasionally came from the nearby forest. from this and the attack by the humans came their affinity for
protection, they have underwater and surface weapons. Traps in their floors and walls for those that don't know they're there,
and their underwater friends keep a look out for humans. They used to have a tribe of elves that came and brought information
to them from other tribes, but when they moved underwater they lost track of them. Over the generations, they have come to
believe of the other tribes as just stories.
