Merfolk

Merfolk are the people of the sea, and live in the underwater country of Atlantida. They have their own distinct culture, traditions, government and political structure, but they work very closely with Cruth-Atharraich, for the sake of trade.

Most merfolk are bound to the sea, but the women of noble families can walk on land when they choose. This is why Alba and Adrian's mother, a mermaid lady, was ambassador to the Elves.
