Oceanic

Cultural base pulling from Pacific island traditions, deep wave-finding navigation lore, and rich oceanic spiritual frameworks.

The thrill of navigating by stars and currents, the deep connection to ancestral knowledge passed through oral tradition and ritual, and the profound spiritual relationship between people and the vast, powerful ocean.
