Aboleths
Ancient intelligent beings of the deep waters who claim that their memories are older than those of gods and humanoids.
This claim is not proven; However, some Aboleths have been observed knowing lost coastlines and forgotten languages. The past they tell is as much bargaining and threat as it is knowledge.
Canonical record
Aboleths live in the Silent Deep and some sea trenches. They claim to carry the memories of their ancestors and to exist before the gods.
States' knowledge of their founding lies and forgotten coastlines is more dangerous than their physical power. There is no common Aboleth empire in Avarra; each individual acts as an ancient memory dynasty.
