Seaborn
The Seaborn are the Vitaean peoples of the oceans, coasts and shallows. Like most Vitaean heritages they rose to sapience during the Great Awakening, some 40,000 years ago, and most live around a century. Much more of Vitaea’s surface lies under water than Aradaea’s, and the sea shapes every part of Seaborn life.
The Seaborn peoples have little in common beyond their ties to the water. Some keep largely to themselves and regard other races with suspicion or open hostility, while others trade and deal with the surface world when it suits them. Their homelands lie scattered across the waters of Vitaea, from Eko’Avra and Ilo’Avra to Eskelieh.
