The Kendrel are a people of the kendor, not a separate biological lineage — the settled court culture of the hidden palace-fortresses, defined by mastery of etiquette and social manipulation, not by any divergence from kendor kind. The Kendrel embody the highest ideals of Kendor society—masters of etiquette, romance, and social manipulation. Their scales shimmer with pearl-like iridescence, and they decorate themselves with cultivated coral jewelry and woven kelp garments of impossible intricacy. Every movement is a calculated dance, every word chosen for maximum impact.
In their hidden palace-fortresses beneath tropical reefs, the Kendrel engage in elaborate games of courtship and politics that can span decades. They view violence as beneath them, preferring to destroy enemies through social exile, romantic humiliation, or financial ruin. Many Kendrel who venture to the surface world become diplomats, matchmakers, or advisors to powerful nobles who value their supernatural understanding of social dynamics.
