The Canthi are a mysterious race of seafarers many centuries removed from their genetic ancestors, who some claim were originally humans, and others, elves. Only coming ashore infrequently to restock supplies not provided by the ocean and to trade their goods with land-dwellers, the Canthi have transmuted from simple sailors to a people perfectly adapted to the harsh conditions of sea travel – their thick brown and green skin along with the thin strands of hair that grow close together in dense mops of hair provide protection from the torturous near-12 hour exposure to the sun that they face daily and also give them a natural resistance to fire
attacks, but are vulnerable to cold attacks.
Canthi are of similar stature to humans, although for the most part more lean and gaunt-looking. Their vast knowledge of ocean environments aids them as rangers, and their mysterious vocal harmony (helped in part by the rows of gill slits on their neck) makes them good bards.
The projected, hollow wails of the Canthi are well-known at ports throughout every continent as signals of their arrival. Their odd, echoing voice is both haunting and disturbing, enhanced by the two rows of gill flaps that rest directly under their chins. Those Canthi that have chosen a life of living on land (which is very rare) can often make excellent earnings as bards in small port towns, combining their unique vocal rhythms with tales from the sea.
