With their druidic mastery over aquatic beasts and air currents, seasages are highly respected among merfolk communities, and are often sought for guidance. Their influence over underwater fauna makes them invaluable in hunting parties. In lieu of properly trained soldiers, a seasage's magical prowess may render it a tribe's first line of defense against aggressors as well. Thanks to some mobility-enhancing spells, a seasage is one of the few merfolk capable of moving and fighting effectively above water.
