Editing Seas of Vodari (section)

==Beneath the Waves==
You might be wondering: since this is a heavily sea-focused campaign setting, does it give any love to the idea of underwater adventuring, long regarded as the ultimate black sheep of the D&D adventuring world? Well, not so much in the corebook, although it does establish the existence of underwater kingdoms, but inevitably the designers promised a [[splatbook]] expansion for the setting which would tackle the underwater realms, seeing as these are effectively the [[Underdark]] of the setting. Titled "Under the Seas of Vodari", it was initially scheduled for release in February 2022... but got screwed particularly hard by various factors, including world-wide shipping disruptions and a decision to revamp many of the new races and subclasses in the "5.5" style, meaning it was delayed until around September/October 2022, though early access PDFs that were complete, just lacking some of the desired artwork, did launch around the expected time.

The drowned lands of Vodari are are specifically divided into three regions; the '''Sunlit Seas''', the '''Twilight Waters''', and the '''Midnight Depths'''.

The undersea races of Vodari are a mixture of those amphibious races seen in the original setting splatbook, and several newcomers; [[Merfolk]], obviously, as well as four variants of that race; the octopus-merfolk Cecaelias, the shark-headed, shark-tailed merfolk Tiburons, and the Grindylow, who are [[goblin]]-merfolk with the heads of shark-people and octopus tentacles for legs. There's also [[Selkie]]s, Sea Dragon and Coral Dragon lineages for [[Dragonborn]] (known in this world as "Draga"), an [[Atlantis|Atlantean]] equivalent called the Varu (or "Ancients), and a race of [[Crabfolk]] called the Karokans.
