There is as much life within the seas as there is beside. Religions of the modern age would have us believe that there is only one deity: a male - God - whose administration includes everything from lightbulbs to lichen, goldfish bowls to the Pacific ocean.

In fact there is a much more complex hierarchical division of labour for land, sea and air; and those with responsibility for the waters of the world hold festivities during which even the most mighty of all Gods and Goddesses - Isa - attends.

The festival of the sea is for all those who have something to do with it, though perhaps others attend simply to enjoy themselves. From sea sprites, which are among the smallest workers in the oceans, to the hugely powerful beings such as the God Poseidon and the more monstrous deities such as Charybdis.
    It is not recommended to go fishing leading up to this festival as some of the denizens of the deep are furious at modern humans' ocean-going activities, and doubtless bring along a drowned mortal or two or three as entertainment and probably as hors d'oeuvre.
