Tritons
Guardian population of the military order around sea pits and monster migration routes.
Canonical record
The Triton Deep Watch is a military order that guards the sea trenches and great monster migration routes. They consider themselves the protectors of the world against threats unknown to the surface peoples.
This mission is based on real threats; but it also provides justification for the Tritons to act without consulting the coastal states. Their wars with the Sahuagin are regular, ancient, and at times diplomatic.
