The Sea-Folk were clans of fishermen on Fist who followed the old ways from before the time of the Lady. The entire extended family lived together and travelled by long boats, often moving from place to place. They were known to settle in some places long enough to build huts out of piled stone with slate roofs. The Sea-Folk primarily ate raw fish and seafood. They covered their skin with animal fat to keep warm and to waterproof their clothing. The resulting stink made them off putting to outsiders.
