The Itothani (pronounced eye-toe-THAH-nee) are the reef-dwelling locathah of the Wounds. While generally friendly and welcoming of outsiders to their communities, they are fiercely protective of their vibrant reefs and are willing to take drastic action to protect them should the need arise. They are a diverse group of peoples with varying traditions, spread across the many coral reefs of the Wounds.
Geography
The largest populations of the Itothani are in the Vese-Te-Mona Reef near the Protectors, the Itzazoa Reef near the Angry Kings, and the Vivid Reef near the Chain. They value all coral reefs, however, no matter their size, and smaller communities can be found in reefs far and wide across the Wounds.
Historically the Itothani also lived in the Wonder of the Seas, now known as the Corpse, a reef south of the Old Twins. After its destruction in the early waves of the demonic invasions of the Old Twins, the survivors from this reef fled throughout the Wounds and have culturally diverged from the Itothani, becoming the Bakari locathah.
Demographics
The Itothani are entirely locathah. Still, some individuals of other ancestries can be found living in their reef-villages as well, usually aquatic elves or less commonly merfolk.
