At'laan is the sixth of [[the Nine Realms]], home to a vast underwater civilisation inhabited by [[Mermaids]], [[Selkie]], and [[Sirens]]. It is ruled by [[The Three Queens of At'laan]]. The At'laan'ti, through their various abilities and powers, have established themselves across [[Hemia]], [[Fangamus]], and [[Earth]] as a powerful influence in the shadows of those societies. While always manipulating events in the best interests of At'laan, they are also not above sowing chaos for their own enjoyment. ![[IMG_0411.jpeg]] > Source: [@kelsijosilva](https://www.instagram.com/p/CsXC6SSRC7N/) While similar in nature, there are some distinctions between the three At'laan'ti species. All three have the ability to adopt 'land-walker' forms of the various other races from their realms of influence, however revert back to their species in their water form. [[Sirens]] are seductive and alluring, well-spoken and flirtatious - the 'honeypots' of t he At'laan'ti. They have the natural ability to influence and charm the people they interact with to their will. [[Sirens]] are viewed as the 'faces' of At'laan'ti society, often undertaking on the ground activities and interpersonal interactions and manipulations. In their water forms, [[Sirens]] and [[Mermaids]] appear extremely similar. However, [[Sirens]] appear more human-like than [[Mermaids]], with skin and hair coloured from across the human spectrum. [[Mermaids]], however, have more blue or green skin tones, with wild coloured hair. They also have more fish-like features on their upper body, such as small fins or scales. [[Mermaids]] are the strategic thinkers of Atlantis, with impressive knowledge comprehension and retention, and powerful analytic abilities. They operate a dozen moves ahead of anyone else. [[Selkie]], in contrast, are more seal-like in appearance, but with human-like upper bodies similar to [[Sirens]]. They are more athletic and stronger than [[Sirens]] and [[Mermaids]], and as such often take up more brawny roles in At'laan'ti machinations.
