History
Mirromy keep no written record, most tradition and story is passed through stories and song. Due to the lack of a true old age, stories are often passed with clarity through generations.

Culture
Social creatures, Mirromy are often very welcoming towards outsiders. They are naturally trusting of most, and can easily be taken advatage of. However, if a Mirromy was ever to uncover malicious intent, they are likely to avoid the problem or if it is family threatening attack it with full force if escape is not possible.

Curious and charismatic, they take much of their time to explore. They are capable of learning and understand technology though they may not use it in every day life. Magic they may be less inclined to meddle with, however if it improves the lives of others they may take it up.

Architecture
 Mirromy are not tech-centric. Most of their homes encorperate no electricity or climate control. Most homes are built in coastal beach communities, only taking advantage of wind-powered water pumps all made of wood, stone, and naturally occuring materials. Homes are usually built partially submerged out of stones, clay, mud, and wood. Most homes are usually only small dens only for sleeping at night.

Most Mirromy live in small colonies or clans with 10-30 adults. Large groups like these typically of 50-100 individuals have plant agriculture, larger dens, and larger family units. Smaller communities are more common in coastal, land, and deep sea communities.
