Etlan Shiis

Etlan Shiis is a Vodalian merfolk colony in the sea west of the Domains. The name means Freedom's Warmth in Vodalian tongue, but became corrupted into Atlantis by the sea-faring human merchants they traded with. The lowly artisan caste had once been treated well within Vodalian society, but as Vodalia turned its eye towards imperial conquest, military and political skills became more important than sheer craftsmanship. Unappreciated and discriminated against, the artisan class sought and was granted the right to start a new colony that, by mutual agreement, would be located far away from the Imperial government that was oppressing them. When Galina III fled her crumbling Sarpadian Empire through a time portal she ended up in modern day Etlan Shiis, the only colony likely to have escaped the Homarids.
