Waving tendrils of kelp trap all but the Maormer's own ships in the uncharted waters of Pyandonea. Maormeri ships are described as insectoid in appearance, with membranous sails and a rugged chitin hull, flying a markedly alien flag. These sea serpents serve as King Orgnum's guards and occasional mounts.
The Maormer practice a powerful form of snake magic, and with this they have tamed the sea serpents of their island for use as steeds and warbeasts. Orgnum is a deathless wizard who it seems is not only immortal, but grows more youthful by the century, and he is said to be the Serpent God Satakal. King Orgnum is the Maormer ruler of Pyandonea. Their skin also has strange, chameleon-like properties, comparable to that of the forest coupling skills of the Wood Elves. Maormer's skin is entirely pale and colorless, as though their flesh is made of white limpid jelly. Maormer are especially distinguished by their skin and eyes.
