The A'mar: - The A'mar live in a sea, just off the coat of the Naga's island. They populate an underwater Kingdom, alive with structures, squares, and statues.
- The A'mar have learned to befriend many sea animals due to their flodding in and out of the city. They do not, however, keep them as pets.
- They are neutral towards the war, yet are very close with the Naga.
- Ranks:
The Royals-
Rajah: He is the current King. He does not have complete control over his city, yet he has major influence.
Mistress: She is the mate to the Rajah. She supports him and her city in as many ways as possible. She frequently visits the villages, so she is acknowledged with a humble bow.
Duke: He is a major part of the Council. Both him an the Duchess practically lead it, whereas the Rajah and Mistress leads the Kingdom.
Duchess: She is also a major part of the Council, and is the spouse to the Duke.
The Council: The government of the A'mar. They do not rule under a complete monarchy. They are basically the cusion to fall back on, but they also organize many things the Rajah couldn't do on his own.
Guards: Self-explanatory. These Merfolk protect the Royals with their lives, but they also protect the Commoners. Because Merfolk are against war, there are very few Guards.
Wealthy: The wealthy were just recently reconsidered as Royals. They have an over abundance of gold and many precious artifacts as well. They do not work for a living, but instead stay at their prodigious houses and bathe in their luxury.
The Commoners:
Gatherers: These hunters do not hunt food, but they collect precious stones found on the coral reefs.
Messengers: They transfer messages through both Commoners and Royals. They also keep in contact with the Naga.
Citizens: Citizens do not do much to benefit their kingdom, but they work for a living instead. They have a wide variety of jobs that they may chose from, such as merchants, chefs, observers (they observe the natural balance of the lake, as well as the many animals that inhabit it.), bankers, tax collector, and much more.

The pie is quite necessary.
I think you should do the sorta naga thing from WoW, ye ken? We've got our big queen and then Ladies and a nice little caste system.

I would stay away from established things like WoW, less we lack our own ideas.

Boas like water
but yeah for the most part they do not
Also swimming with a half human half snake bodies seems like it would be hard.
Did we not have this talk before?

I'd say a sort of hyrbid or at a push I'd say Merfolk. It shouldn't be able to hold itself by its tail only if it was a merthing but... what use would a fin be to a snake-person?

That thing looks cool.
But alright. I figured that the caste system would be a nice start that we could work off of, but you make a good point.

I do like the castle system. I would assume it'd be Lord/Lady or King/Queen. Because I'm creative like that.

What if they were a made up name?
*Hides thesaurus*
I totally just pulled the words "caliph" and "rajah" out of my brain.
They might be cool for some ruler names?
Or we can go with something like Typhoon Master or Hurricane Master or Tidemaster.

Rajah just sounds epic.
Although it doesn't work too good with their culture.
GRR
Well, if all else fails, we could always nail the castle thing. King/queen, prince/princess, duke/duchess, etc. etc.
Though they are hunters. They eateth the humans.

The male could be the Rajah and then the female could be the Mistress or something.
We could figure out a way to make it work.
What is their culture, if I may ask?

Well, I guess it's not really specified. Just the whole castle thing. Not really a culture.
That'd be cool. I'd love to use Rajah! Mistress/Head Mistress could be his mate.
We could then have the Royals or something. I small cluster of Merfolk that would basically be the council.
