Sirens

This page serves as a source of information about Sirens as is applicable to World 42 role-playing characters. Everyone is invited to add to this information.

Brief History
There is little infromation on the history of sirens as of now, but they are known to originate from the Eastern Lands, mainly from the islands of Tuai Leit and Siren's Shell. They can often be found in the service of an island Khan; living in the ruler's palace, or on solitary islands that seperate them from causing unintended harm to others. Few Sirens leave the Wushanko Isles, but there are a few special cases.

Accepted Lore

 * Sirens have magical voices that when they sing they are able to control either people or dangerous sea monsters.
 * This is an inherent ability of the race, but this requires training to develop, a siren is not just born with mastery over their voices. This can be comparable to how a member of the moonclan must train their magical skills throughout life in order to achieve mastery of their abilities.
 * Most sirens seem to have a general wish to avoid harming humans.
 * Sirens that has achieved skill in controlling sea monsters are known as seasingers.
 * All sirens seen so far have been female.

Debated Lore

 * All sirens seen so far in game have been female, so it is unknown if sirens have any males in their race, and thus it is unknown how they are able to keep their population steady if there are none.
 * Sea orphans, which are people that appear to be a mix of human and sea creature, may be the result of humans breeding with sirens.
 * This might be the answer of how sirens are able to replenish their numbers if they have no males; with successful births resulting in sirens and failed ones resulting in sea orphans.

Other Information

 * None yet added.

Trivia

 * Sirens seem to have been an intended addition to the game since 2001, but arrived via the port updates. This is speculated because of artwork found that resembles the sirens that was created in 2001.
