Description:
A king among longear sunfish, and lord of the waters of Meghaduta.
Fishing log:
Capable of extending and flattening its earlike fins at amazing speed, this peculiar creature at times resembles a child throwing their hands over their ears in petulance. In turn, the children of Thavnair are careful not to cover their ears when being scolded by their elders, lest they be forced to endure a wholly different earful come dinner.
Description:
A freshwater fish named for the earlike protrusions on the sides of its face.
Fishing log:
At the tip of the longear sunfish’s opercular bones sit rounded protrusions that greatly resemble ears, which is likely how this wavekin earned its name. In reality, these protuberances are part of its gills, and the faster it swims, the more the “ears” undulate.
Description:
If this freshwater fish from Meghaduta seems delicious, it’s because it is. Dutifully served with a mega-sized portion of sauce in Radz–at–Han.
Fishing log:
The waters that flank Meghaduta are teeming with these wavekin, whose fatty flesh makes them exceptionally toothsome. They are often served at dinners hosted by the satrap with a heaping helping of spice-rich sauce.
Description:
Only the satrap’s family has been permitted to fish this freshwater goliath.
Fishing log:
Treasured in Radz–at–Han since time immemorial, these strikingly silver wavekin can be caught by none other than the satrap and his immediate kin. Poaching them from the waters of Meghaduta is strictly forbidden.
Description:
This freshwater fish boasts a snout reminiscent of a Matanga’s trunk.
Fishing log:
The trunk-like snout for which this wavekin is known is adored by the Matanga of Thavnair. Legend has it that the creature’s ancestor─a sadly trunkless fellow, as fish are wont to be─fell so deeply in love with an Arkasodara maiden that it grew its nose out through sheer force of will in the hopes of impressing her.
