Whalens

whalens

Whalens are an ocean-faring people that trace their lineage to the lost, ancient kingdom of Waylore. Their stout frames and thick blubbery skin make them hardy adventurers, and they often work as sailors and explorers aboard ships. While few make it out to regions far away from water, many folk are familiar with their beautiful, melancholic singing. In fact, families of whalens are known to sing together each night before bed.
