Salt‐scarred kin bound to the sea, they harness wind and wave to sustain thriving coastal realms. From the youngest deckhand to the oldest shipwright, every member of the community is unified by a deep respect for the ocean’s power and bounty. Their ships, sleek caravels and stout galleons alike, are famed for cutting through storm and swell with equal grace, while their mariners can read tides and stars as deftly as most people read street signs. Festivals of lantern lit flotillas and sea-shanty contests celebrate both the generosity and the danger of their watery world, reinforcing bonds of loyalty that are as strong as the timbers in their hulls.
Cities and Settlements: Ports ring natural harbors with stone breakwaters, lighthouses atop headlands, and shipyards stretching along the shore. Residences of weather-beaten wood and salt-stained stone overlook the sea. Merchant captains and naval guilds share authority, and tide-calling ceremonies mark the start of each sailing season.
