Sea Warden

The depths of the ocean are vast, mysterious, and filled with both wonders and terrors. As the Sea Warden, you have dedicated your life to patrolling these waters, protecting their delicate balance from intruders, monstrosities, and unknown horrors lurking in the abyss. Whether you were trained by an ancient order of deep-sea guardians, swore an oath to a leviathan, or simply felt the call of the tides, your connection to the ocean runs deeper than most. On land, you move with the patience of the rolling waves and the precision of a predator striking from the depths—watching, waiting, and ensuring that no force, mortal or otherwise, disrupts the sanctity of the sea.

Languages: Abyssal

Equipment:

• A barnacle-encrusted trident passed down through generations, a reinforced net, a shell-carved whistle that mimics sea creature calls, a set of common clothes, and a pouch with 10 gp.
