Yunori

Having been the longest tribe to live within Lake Rea, along side a few from the Oyoqlar tribe, the Yunori Mer are a proud people that, much like the Biqaj, enjoy tradition, structure, and respect. Though their tribe is small due to their strict rules, they still make waves within the water with their renown talent for construction and battle prowess.

The Aluneen, roughly titled 'The Sanctuary' lies at the center of Lake Rea and spans nearly the entire bottom of it. The Yunori tend to the Aluneen as it is mostly composed of coral and marine plant life. Built within this reef are large structures made from rock and stone that has since been engulfed in plant life. A special kind of bioluminescent moss paints the outer and inner walls of these structures, illuminating the sanctuary in the dead of night, beneath the waters.

The Sanctuary is visited by a number of tribes and humans alike, those that have the capability to breathe underwater, that is. Aluneen acts as a trading port of sorts for the Mer, importing in a number of resources only found within the deepest parts of the ocean while exporting special plants, medicinal herbs, harvested fish parts, and a number of scavenged items from ship wrecks. They also specialize in buying and selling information from current to current.

The Yunori have an alliance contract with Ne'haer through trade only. Though they have established peace, some members of the tribe have taken up arms against land dwellers who've either stolen, harmed, or have done some injustice toward the lake and Mer within it. These people operate off of the old 'eye for an eye' saying. Due to this, tensions between the city and tribe still exist, even after so many arcs.
