Meradults are huge and long like eels, but babies? They're just littol.

A huge mane of hair is seen as an attractive quality in adult merpeople, it communicates health, size and child rearing capability. Merbabies instinctively grip on to long, flowing shapes, and placing them on top on a parent's head keeps them in a safe spot and within easy begging distance of snacks.

I call this piece 'Mermay Never Die'.

Honey - Perfect type-example of an neritic mermaid body plan. Bright colors, sturdy physique and strong flippers for fin-driven swimming.

Ukko - Typical benthic mermaid, with bioluminescent spots, a dark brown/black body color and generally anguilliform swimming style. Notable feature: spine kink.

Sweet - Extremely bulky neritic build, overweight and muscular from plentiful hunting. Particularly long fin spines.

King of the Gemāni: Wakafaoo Akefabateta Kbawa (Keb for short)

The King of the Gemāni is, at least in theory, supposed to be the best businessman in the nation. Originally, in the mythic past, they voted for their king from among the aristocracy, but a series of charismatic but foolish picks culminated in a coup by a prominent merchant family. Keb and all kings in the last 300 years claim lineage from this bloodline.

Keb himself is considered a good and just King. Some of his more famous accomplishments are public works, investing in the growth of the outer cities and the opening of trade routes to the North after years of unease. Still, there are people who say he's a bit too pampered to be considered a well-established ruler, citing his touch immature way of openly flirting with other men.

In a world of bipeds, only a select few are featherless.

This is a worldbuilding blog for Birdworld a planet where evolution took a slightly wonky trajectory and landed humans in a world of birds. The human spirit perseveres, though! On our focus-continent, the Gemāni people are enjoying a period of prosperity and rounding the corner towards iron age. They've domesticated many animals, built large stone palaces and temples, and established far-reaching trade-routes. I'll mostly be looking at them and their neighbors' cultural practices and relationships, as well as a couple of select individuals. For fun!
