About

Rhy-fen are awakened dolphins, friends and companions of the sea-folk. Their awakenings are also so common that the terms rhy-fen and dolphin are practically synonymous. While most rhy-fen are naturally confined to a watery environment, some do visit land through arcane means.

Rhydan are awakened beasts, possessed of a soul from the Eternal Dance. While the rhydan ancestry in Chapter VIII has certain limits on a rhydan’s beast form, this template can be applied to any beast, as the Game Master sees fit.
