"God of the sea. She sends storms to sink ships if sailors don't make offerings to her first. Or sometimes just because. She might allow her church to build a floating city, but they aren't really that social."

"Sea elves build underwater, but I've never been to one of their towns. I don't think I'd be welcome."
