* FantasticRacism: There are two main races of merfolk - Ghrismogs and Merras. Ghrismogs are more fish-like in appearance, and are more practical-minded than the artistic Merras. Centuries the two races lived in harmony, until another race called the Olaki arrived, plotting to take over the Caverns because of the abundance of food in the region. The Ghrismogs saw the danger, but the Merras [[GoodCannotComprehendEvil had no conception of greed]], and continued to trust the Olaki until it was too late. The Olaki massacred most of the Merras and enslaved the Ghrismogs, subjecting the males to CripplingCastration so that for a generation, all Ghrismog children were half-Olaki. Eventually the Ghrismogs rebelled and overthrew the Olaki, but ever since then, the Ghrismogs have hated the Merras and blamed them for the Olaki invasion. Merras are so mistreated that although once all Betweens were Merras, social pressures have prevented them from participating in a Choosing ever since.
