Praecipitium are offspring of the Sahuagin and Humans and are kind of like snaketongue versions of the Sahuagin. Then a new leader of the Sahuagin rose to power and he believed that the hybrids should be cast out of the Sahuagin clans. After three years of being exiled the still weak villages of the Praecipitium were marauded by the Sahuagin constantly and the Praecipitium were driven under water... until now.
