'''Lords of the Deep'''
 
The water cycle and the life cycle are one, and your Family understands them better than any other. When you erase a Surplus, recover 1 Tech from the depths.
 
 
'''The Dragon in the Sea'''
 
You are free from the hope that the sea will ever rest. Instead, you’ve learned to sail through the tempest. When your Family hits -2 Mood, you can roll +Grasp: on a hit gain 2 of Surplus: Barter Goods, Trade, or Progress, and erase a Need. Say how the sea provides for you in your moment of need. On a miss, the GM can make as hard a move as they like.

'''A Threat: ''' An invading flotilla. Whoever they are the are not The People. They do not glide through Mother Sea like we do. They worship a jealous and angry god. They wear metal and carry a crude blade they call a chete.

'''Home: '''The Nest is the true home of the People. This is their winter camp and where the sick or pregnant reside. It's also where criminals are punished. A common sentance is to be tied upside down with your head in the water. Since most of the People have cybergills this is more an annoyance then anything. It is on the northmost island in the Lake.
