Depths Hunter

On the fringes of the Forgotten Realms, far from civilization and big cities, there are those who live off what the deep sea has to offer. Depht Hunters spend much of their existence braving the dangers that lurk in the seas to survive, only they know why they do it, there are those who say that they are looking for something, that something is calling them from the depths, something valuable enough to risk their own lives to get it.
