Homarid Explorer

The homarids are one of Dominaria's oldest races, having existed for millennia in the frigid waters below the southern antarctic continent, since before the time of the Thran. When the Brother's War caused massive ecological shifts in the world, cooling the waters of the homarid's former home, they migrated North, clashing with the humans living there.   Now, thousands of years later, the homarid remain a threat to both the humans and merfolk of the Vodalian Sea. Though temperatures have since risen, the homarid have adapted well to the warmer waters, making seaborne travel across the tropics a dangerous prospect.   Hunt for Territory Since their first encounter with the land-based races of Dominaria, the homarid have remained aggressively expansionist, raiding coastal settlements and using their shaman's druidic magic to flood low-lying plains and forests.   Those traveling along the coast of Dominaria's inner bodies of water, especially along the Vodalian Sea, requiring an almost constant guard. Homarid scouts and explorers constantly make landfall along the area, searching for newly-raised and under-defended villages, as well as defending their own encroaching borders. Like the homarid shamans, homarid explorers wield some basic nature magic, and while incapable of flooding villages, they often use their magic to stage surprise attacks on unsuspecting innocents.
