Members of maritime cultures usually live by rivers, lakes, and oceans, where they make their living from fishing or by trading. Maritime societies value exploration highly, always desiring to find out what lies beyond the horizon. This leads many of them to become adventurers. The most commonly worshipped gods within maritime cultures are Aegir, Thor, or Skadi.
In the Estian Islands, this is the largest culture among humans. Greystone is a mostly maritime society, as are most settlements along the Estian westcoast.
