Circle of the Sea

Druids who are members of the Circle of the Sea have formed a bond with the seas and the power that flows from them. The druids have learned to flow like the ocean and thrash like the waves. They are usually very friendly and nice but, they will do anything to protect the ocean and its inhabitants, no matter what the cost. They tend to prefer living by major bodies of water as that is where they are comfortable, but they will journey out of that comfort zone if they deem it necessary
