How the Seafolk Domain Plays
This domain solves practical underwater problems before escalating into formidable ocean magic. It improves swimming, lets aquatic creatures function on land, hardens the body for deep water, provides breathable water and culminates in the force needed to batter ships or survive the open sea.
Poseidon and the Seafolk Domain
The current divine directory associates Seafolk with Poseidon. This is a campaign assignment; the published Stormwrack source uses its own setting-specific sea patrons. The mechanics remain unchanged.
What Are Seafolk Priests Doing Now?
They are guiding amphibious communities, negotiating passage between coastal and underwater settlements, investigating attacks on ships from below and protecting sacred migration routes used by intelligent sea peoples.
