Pirates
'sea robbers' these 'robbers' live on water they are cruel and unmercyful, fit and strong even the women are thought to fight and not to be messed with. They unlike the nobles to not carry a live of comfort but spend their lives on the sea but now, they want to stay on the seas forever!
Mermaids
Almost extinct to the point where they are dead there are only 8 living mermaids now, they live at the bottoms of the sea.

They are hunted for there blood which is told to grant immortality, They have beautiful voices that almost sound like they are singing, when they sing they are know to kill many sailors.
