Life in the wetlands shaped you. Whether raised in the swamps or self-taught by the riverbanks, you learned to read currents, watch the skies, and survive by hook, lure, and flame. You are both a wanderer and a warden—keeper of the mists, fire, and frogs.

You can always find food, fresh water, and safe shelter in swampy or coastal regions. You have advantage on checks to find fish, navigate wetland terrain, and forage in natural environments near water. You’re familiar with hidden bog paths, seasonal migrations, and signs of lurking predators.
Spell List
While not inherently magical, fisherfolk often develop minor talents for divining weather, controlling flame, or calming beasts. Druids and nature-bound rogues frequently emerge from these communities.

Suggested Characteristics
Fisherfolk are hardy, patient, and wily. They often speak in metaphors, trust few outsiders, and respect the balance of the wilds. Their humor is dry as driftwood, and their loyalty is anchored deep.
