Idoneth Deepkin enclaves can be found deep within oceans across all of the Mortal Realms. From abyssal Ulgu to the gleaming waters of Ghyran, they raid coastal settlements, desperate to bolster the lives of their young and the expansion of their territory.
Despite being allies of the forces of Order, the Idoneth often come into conflict with the many races of the realms as they harvest the soul of anyone they can catch. No life-matter is wasted; their desire for the precious resource will override their loyalties if need be. The ethersea allows them to strike in packs above water upon their aquatic mounts, and their strikes are often precise, deadly and quick.
The mysterious aelves of the deeps emerge from the waves only to raid the lands of surface-dwellers. They seek not treasure nor coin, but the very souls of the living.
Sworn foes of Chaos, the Idoneth Deepkin do not lightly venture into lands as deeply in thrall to the Dark Gods as the Eightpoints. Yet their emergence into the great struggle for the realms has not been without cost; never a numerous people, the Idoneth enclaves have seen a great many of their warriors slain in battle. For all its horrors, the lands of the Varanspire are rich in powerful souls - though many Isharann priests fear that this bounty is irrevocably tainted. Nevertheless, there is little choice but to raid if the Deepkin are to replenish their grievous losses. Thus they slip into Archaon’s domain through hidden, dangerous paths, to hunt and raid.
