Lords of the Waters
The Aquatic Lords of the Beastlands Largely dwell in the depths of the Threefold Ocean, a colossal layer-spanning sea that touches all three layers of the plane. The blood with the largest domain of all the Animal Lords is the Fish King, a rarely-seen and fairly nebulous being who views all of the waters of the Beastlands as their territory. Somehow though, simultaneously the aquatic emperor also represents the creatures who are largely prey for the other aquatic lords. Graybeards reckon it’s this circle of equality that has kept the peace for so long in the waters of the Beastlands—unlike the drama-filled history of the Lords of the Land and the Skies. Some cutters, like the Crocodile and Swan Lords, fall into more than one camp, and act something like go-betweens for the three Beast Kingdoms.
Unlike aquatic creatures of the Prime, there is no distinction between salt and freshwater on the Beastlands, and any aquatic creature can live anywhere it chooses. They tend to stick to similar environments as their Prime brethren usually, presumably because their body shapes are perfectly suited for life in the open ocean, or riverbed, or churning surf.
