Loingseoir (LING-shuh-yohr)
Shipswain
A Loingseoir’s world is one of constant motion—the sway of the deck beneath their feet, the tug of the wind against the sail, the ceaseless rhythm of waves breaking upon the hull. Theirs is a life spent beneath skies of shifting stars, where the constellations are maps and the tides speak in quiet whispers of distant shores. With hands calloused by rope and salt, they guide their vessels not just through water, but through stories, their journeys woven into the very fabric of the sea.
Their skill lies not only in sailing but in reading the unseen forces that shape the ocean’s will. They know the secrets of the currents, the places where the waters shift and converge, carrying ships forward or dragging them back. They are masters of navigation, charting courses with the sun and stars as their guides, ensuring that no destination is ever beyond reach. From fishing boats that bring in the bounty of the deep to grand vessels that cross vast distances, Loingseoirí ensure that the sea is never a mystery, but a companion.
Yet, they are not only wayfarers—they are also keepers of maritime lore, passing down knowledge of winds, waves, and weather to those who follow in their wake. Their tales are as deep as the abyss, filled with encounters on distant shores, battles against the storm, and moments of stillness where the ocean stretches to infinity. Theirs is a life of freedom, resilience, and the eternal pull of the horizon.
