While many land-based humanoids experience fear of the sea and its vast unknown depths, merfolk feel that the ocean holds wondrous opportunity and spiritual significance. Land is both harsh and restricting. Water, on the other hand, allows one to swim freely through beautiful reefs, haunting kelp forests, and even into the great deeps where the sun does not shine. The ocean is to be respected, but not feared, according to Merfolk. Accordingly, they worship various oceanic gods, including a deity that they call Destor, whom they attribute to the creation and maintenance of oceanic currents. | While many land-based humanoids experience fear of the sea and its vast unknown depths, merfolk feel that the ocean holds wondrous opportunity and spiritual significance.
