Stiltfarmer

Stiltfarmers are the backbone of Waveborn society. Their many stilt villages in the shallows along any coastline, produce the main foodstock that feeds the many humanoids of the world. Select seagrasses are planted to provide many varieties of grain, from the rice-like perennial of eelgrass to the rich fat grains of shellwheat, that makes the most succulent bread imaginable, all are carefully cultivated, washed and exported. In between the poles that delineate the fields or hold the many houses, seaweed is collected through intricate nets, which in its turn attracts many smaller fish that keep away any pests that may affect the fields.

If you grew up here you know the value of hard labour, but also the many intricacies of oceanic and underwater life. All of these factors create a people that are just as capable on land, as on the sea, whether sailing, adventuring, or simply labouring in the many factories. But ask any of them, and they can wax lyrically for hours about their life on the stilts...

Like a fish in the water Your swimming speed increases by 10ft. You can hold your breath for up to 10 minutes when not stressed in any way, or 5 minutes when you are (like in combat).
Village Values. You gain proficiency with your choice of either Insight, Nature, Survival, or Persuasion.
Stiltwalker's Buffet. Once per long rest, you can spend 4 hours of time to locate food and water for yourself and one other creature while traveling along coastlines, wetlands, and islands.
Languages. You can speak, read, write, and sign your country's language and one other language of choice.
