Star-Whaler
Medium humanoid (any race), chaotic neutral
Corsairs of the night sky who sail light-skiffs between the stars and hunt the drifting leviathans whose bodies glow like moonlight. A star-whaler wears patched oilskins and carries a tether harpoon and a shuttered lantern. It sells what it catches: lamp-oil that never runs dry, and bones that float.
