Here's The Map All Done! Exo-R 4202 Or As Known By Its Common Name Kupatwa Nation!

Here's the map all done! Exo-R 4202 or as known by its common name Kupatwa Nation!
I'm trying to see how I might be able to enable the notes to be seen because there's a lot of lore like EVERYWHERE. Some story spoilers too but I put a warning before the spoiler just in case. Soon as I figure this out I'll rb it.

wifes holding hands.
merfolk might seemingly have "paws", and i do describe them as paws at times, but in reality they're much closer to the large pads of textured scales on the bottom of the feet in birds of prey. in their evolutionary past, they were to help the ancestors of merfolk hold onto slippery, wet rocks on the coastlines that they inhabited, but were quickly co-opted into being used to hold onto slippery prey just as easily.
they feel like extremely coarse sandpaper, with many small scales growing up into spear-like points to produce the textured effect, and can even be rather sharp on their own. they are usually worn down with use, however, and most merfolk opt to keep them, especially as they assist in movement and being able to navigate around their environment to a minor degree. some merfolk, especially in less physically demanding jobs, will file them down into a smooth surface, as they can catch on finer materials like cloth or thread, or if they themselves dislike the feeling. it can minorly improve their ability to feel through their hands, though the actual extent of this is debated.
the scales are ever-growing, and filing doesn't damage the scales in any way different than wearing them down, so this isn't a long-term commitment regardless.



merfolk cheek "fluff" is one of those details that i'm deeply in love with but find a hard time bringing it up or mentioning it. in essence, it's the same structure as the larger "fin" (really a modified external gill), just without a "quill" that it branches off of. they're very thin, very delicate strands of skin that develop around the base of the fins and lead into them, helping to "smooth off" the area as it transitions and provide more detailed sensory information. they aren't as mobile as the larger fins, but they can still rise and fall and modify the shape of the fin, and can be used for some finer merfolk expressions.
being modified external gills and covered in delicate skin that's capable of a minor role in oxygen exchange, they're fairly fragile. merfolk beauty standards in the past have prioritized whole, undamaged fins, but in the modern era, risk of damage is much easier to avoid, and damage that is obtained is easier to heal. still, considering the amount of nerves in the same area, merfolk will be highly choosy in who they allow to touch the "fluff", and being allowed to do so is considered a high mark of trust.
that said, it does feel nice when someone scratches just that right spot.
the joy.
