MASTERS OF THE POLES

As their seal ancestry suggests, the Sealfolk are very much a race apart, both in nature and in location. Sealfolk communities tend to be isolationist, not interacting often with the outside world. This is supported in part by the terrain in which most Sealfolk are found: cold, icy waters near the Northern or Southern Poles. When Sealfolk have encountered other races in the past, they have been perceived as inherently distressed or confused, though this is more likely a result of most Sealfolk not knowing how to interact with non-Sealfolk. Despite this, Sealfolk can be steadfast allies, once the initial awkwardness subsides.
