#claws -

tarasaar! they’re kind of wedged between the fyrisaar and the mortsaar geographically, which is a rough enough spot as it is, but on top of that they don’t really have anywhere to go if they were attacked - their homeland is a wide plain lace with multiple rivers, which feed directly between the outer sea to the north and the inner sea to the south. the outer sea is far colder, and suffers violent offshore storms, but the calmer and warmer inner sea is claimed by the giisaar. the tarasaar have been a generally peaceful species in order to keep their tentative place between the other groups, converting their ground to farmland and housing and building houseboats and floating farms to utilize the rivers. 

their territory floods relatively often, but they are a semiaquatic species and do not mind the change. houses built on the ground have hollow platforms beneath them so they can float in mild flooding, and farms have storm walls; the greatest danger from a flood is losing a harvest, as food is their main export.
