The Adria people are a community of unique merfolk who are descendants of both water genasi and triton and have the ability to not only breathe water and air, like other merfolk, but also transform between their triton and Genasi forms to survive on both. However, being away from water for more that a few days can cause Adria to experience high levels of fatigue and even prolonged time out of water can mean they lose the ability to turn back into the triton form.

The Aidra are the ancient protectors of something they call The Trench, a deep fissure in the ocean floor that is said to be able to lead to other worlds. A group of Adria Horizon Walkers watch over the rift and ensure that it does not “bleed” into their world, transporting objects into this other world. Generations ago, the Ashari came across the Rift, as part of their duty to search out and guard portals that lead from Exandria to other planes. Seeing that the Adira were already guarding the portal, The Ashari chose to ally with them insted of take over stewardship of the Trench and now occasionally visit Adria to check in with the Horizon Walkers or ask for their assistance.
