Selkies

Fey that have attempted to cast off their heritage in the same way as wild elves forsook the lithia, selkies appear as humes or as one of the Elysia (depending on if they are encountered on IIo or Lysia respectively). They are always located near a great body of water, and they are forced to spend a certain amount off their lives in the water in order to overcome their dependency on faerie magicks. When in the water, they usually appear as animals distantly related to their humanoid form (i.e. a sea mammal for selkies appearing hume).
