Citizens of an ancient empire that sank beneath the ocean, the aventi adapted to their new home and now adventure both at sea and on land. A proud people who hold personal honor in high regard, the aventi can be found anywhere from the human-settled coasts to the deepest trenches of the ocean floor.

Aventi are little different from humans in appearance. Aventi usually stand from 5 feet to little over 6 feet in height and weigh from 125 to 250 pounds, with men noticeably taller and heavier than women. Aventi coloration tends towards a very pale, almost bluish skin to a lighter tan, with blue and green eyes and hair that ranges between a light brown to a very pale blond. The calves and forearms of Aventi feature small swimming fins that fold almost flat when the Aventi leave the water.

Aventi dress is very plain and sparse--most wear just enough to maintain their modesty and some wear less than that. They are fond of pearls and soft metals that can be worked without heat such as gold. Aventi, like humans, reach adulthood at about age 15 and rarely live more than a century.
