The Drowned (Warlock Patron)

## Patron: The Drowned

The Drowned are abominations that are created when a Marid offers its power to a sailor who it believes is worthy, but instead is betrayed and during the ritual by the sailor who kills the Marid and claims its power. This power warps the sailor until they are no longer vaguely human. These Drowned then choose sailors to work for them. Unlike the Marid who save drowning sailor, the Drowned usually cause the shipwreck then offer to save the sailor in exchange for its service. Drowned warlocks are transformed by this power. Their skin is usually clammy and they gain aquatic features (i.e. fins, webbed hands or feet, etc. but that provide no mechanic benefits).
