Triton

Tritons are seen as the guardians and the protectors of the seas with the world of Dephiron. Before Dephiron fell Triton civilization was focused and built around ancient temples where they would guard these temples to ensure that some of the sealed gods could not escape. These temples hold entities that should be locked away permanently never to breathe fresh air again. These areas of the sea are sacred for the Triton and often protect these areas from outsiders as well. These Triton would ritualistically drain power from these sealed gods and entities allowing them to defend their city and the temple using their power.

This all changed during the cataclysmic event known as the cosmic invasion happened. When the various Eldritch monsters and Forsaken gods fell into the ocean due to the cosmic evasion they started to attack these temples and in hopes of releasing some of the sealed entities and the few sealed gods that would aid in the destruction of the heavens. These tritons were in an all out war against these Outsiders attempting to protect the temples and prevent the sealed ones from being released however they were unsuccessful and the amount of bloodshed along with the strange powers of the Outsiders managed to warp the undersea landscapes and the seas. These Outsiders drove many Tritons out of their homes forcing them to either make new homes in the deep depths of the ocean or driving out of the ocean to form their new homes on islands. When the Tritons lost they were cursed by the Outsiders and the curse affects the appearance of these Triton.

These Tritons over the years have grown desperate about taking back the ocean to get back their homes and to avenge their people that have died that they have turned to a darker sense of worship. Since prayers to the gods have fallen of deaf ears tritons have began constructing shrines, temples, and even monoliths in the depths of the seas and on these islands worshipping the Demon prince of the Sea Dagon. These Tritons participate in rituals to attempt to invoke Dagon as a last ditch effort to fight back against the Forsaken gods and the Outsiders that are polluting the seas. However as a result of these dark rituals and dark practices these Tritons have their bloodline cursed turning them into Simic hybrids.

One of the curses bestowed upon the Triton race affects their appearance as they have more Outsider like features rather than human like features like the used to. This causes a lot of misunderstandings and accidents as many people mistake them for Outsiders or people believe that they are working with the Outsiders.

The other curse affects there bloodline causing some offspring Triton to become Simic Hybrids rather than Tritons.
