Aventi are a race of aquatic humanoids descended from an ancient civilization of humans from the lost nation of Aventus.[1][2][3]
History[]
Aventi are descended from humans of an ancient civilization that sunk into the sea who believe they were spared and given their abilities by their god, Aventernus.[1] Their lost homeland is now known as the Aventus Islands, off the coast of Syrkarn in Sarlona.[2]
The aventi have learned to adapt to life underwater and now range across the Sea of Rage.[2][3]
Description[]
Aventi are aquatic humans with bluish-tinted skin ranging from pale to tan in complexion. They have blue to green eyes, and their hair ranges from blonde to a lighter brown.[1]
Relations[]
Since Riedra controls the Aventus Islands that were once their homeland the aventi do not have good relations with the Inspired and their followers.[2]
Abilities[]
Aventi are adept swimmers and can breathe underwater just as easily as they can breath air.[1]
Society[]
The aventi place a high value on honor. They are a devout people who worship a deity they call Aventernus. They believe Aventernus was responsible for granting them the ability to live underwater following the cataclysm that destroyed their civilization.[1]
The aventi are a very traditional people. They believe in Twelve Virtues that guide their culture as ideals for all to strive for. The priests of Aventernus assist the kings and lords of the aventi in ruling their lands.[1]
Lands[]
Ever since the loss of their civilization, the aventi dwell in small settlements across the Sea of Rage.[2][3] They maintain a presence in the port town of Ardhmen in Syrkarn.[2]
Appendix[]
Background[]
In Stormwrack, the aventi follow a deity they call Aventernus, whose nature changed following the end of their civilization from a maritime god of commerce to a stern god of justice and fairness.[1] In Eberron, owing to similarity in portfolios he may be an aspect of Aureon, Kol Korran, or Dol Arrah, or a merging of any combination of the three.
