water/land dweller war
There are two tribes that live in the overlapping territory. One mostly in the ocean, the other mostly on the land, but overlapping at the shoreline and shallow sea areas. They have lived cooperatively and at peace for centuries, but one day, in certain areas of the sea and partly on the land food has started disappearing and “dark water” has begun to encroach in various territories.
One day, a dispute broke out about fish along the reef where they shared the right to hunt. The seals claim that the Lutra took more than their share, but the Lutra denied it. Replying, that their kelp beds were disappearing. Neither could agree.
Over the following year, a few more similar disputes broke out, causing tensions between the two tribes. Eventually, a neutral investigator was brought tin to find the problem before war broke out. A few skirmishes have already happened with hotheads from both sides.
What neither side realizes, is that both sides are starving, those that have been eating what fish has been caught are sick or dying from the corrupted food and water. They need to find the source of the dark water. [a deep one, corrupted Octari, is the source, the dark water is his blood]
