Undine's Story
(by Spykkie)
One day, a lone Shee traveled to a world unknown...
A few tiny islands floated about an immense, seemingly
endless sea... Though the view was beautiful, the
Shee was disappointed, as she did not expect to
find any norns on such small pieces of land...
There was far too little land for them to prosper
here, the thought... But then, she saw something
move! Right there! There were norns! Fleeing towards
the ocean! Far from being scared of the water, the
little things jumped right in!
Stunned at first, the Shee decided to investigate,
and with the help of Shee technology, was able to
successfully dive deep into the ocean. To her great
surprise, there were dozens of healthy norns, living
under water! These seemed small... smaller then
other norns she'd seen... but it seemed to be has
big as they could get...
She giggled a bit, finding them too cute to pass,
and picked up a couple of freshly laid eggs from
the sandy ocean floor to bring them back with her...
Later, she tried to name her new discovery... they
were obviously norns, amphibious norns, but what
to name their breed?
Feeling a strange nostalgia, she looked in books
of her childhood, where magical beings could be
found, in stories and myths... That's where she
saw the picture of an old friend, long forgotten...
She was Undine, a water spirit of her
favorit tale...
She looked back at the newly hatched, tiny norn
babies she now had, and it was decided.
Their breed would be the 'Undine norns'. The beautiful
water spirits who would soon populate the artificial
sea of her ship.

Since Spykkie wished to have the Undine
as colourful as possible, here are some starter
norns to download and play with. The settings for
pigment genes for the female and male gender are
different. Oceanus and Ariel come with neutral settings
in the pigment genes, therefore showing the original
coloured sprites.
