[Glimmerreach] Race - Syren (Patreon)

Little is known about the reclusive syren, who establish small isolated communities far from the dominion of elves. Their aquatic homes populate a majority of the Glimmerreach’s deep ocean. Some spread to other undersea locations in the Material Plane or the Elemental Plane of Water.

I just wanted to design a race whose language was very different and entirely melodic. The result was the Syren, originator of the "sirens" of lore.

The Syren have an interesting set of situational abilities, including water-breathing, loresinger, and impersonator, which fits in their flavor and gives them certain bonuses. The biggest boon comes in the form of Song Magic, which includes a cantrip and spell that scales up by level. As far as I know, this is not common, but it makes sense and isn't too strong (pretty similar to the weak-ish dragonborn breath weapon).
