Beachcombing is a sage study in the field of Wilderland, encompassing knowledge of places where the shoreline between land and sea predominates — parts of the world that are described as "intertidal."
Contents
In addition to obtaining food and fresh water, scavenging and learning the basic means of navigating the environment, a beachcomber is also familiar with tidal behaviour, rip tides and the presence of unstable ground such as sinking sand and soft mud. By eye, a beachcomber will recognize the danger of cliff falls and potential mud slides, enabling safe passage along a shore.
Through observance of the sea, the beachcomber gains abilities that allow personal contact with unusual creatures and humanoids unknown to land-dwellers — so that in practice, they are often ambassadors between the two worlds. The study is enhanced by an interest in underwater riding mounts, since finding such a mount would come more easily to a beachcomber. Knowledge of the sea enables the leading of many peoples across great oceans, locating impossible to find places through observation and skill.
