Survival

Description:

Specialties: Marine Life, Twilight Sea, Abyssal Plain, Cooking, etc.
 * For a Naian, Survival is concerned not only with how to survive within their unique aquatic habitat - such as which sea cucumbers are delicious and which are poisonous, but also with the habits of marine life in general.
 * Survival covers also how to 'make do' with only access to the aquatic environment around them - vital for a pod's self-reliance.
 * It is separate from Toxins, in that a Naian with high Survival might know which common species are poisonous, but wouldn't necessarily know how to safely manipulate a venom to some other purpose, such as lacing a spearhead.
 * It is different from Seawise, in that Seawise is mostly concerned with aquatic phenomena, customs or societies, especially relating to other pods, sub-clans or grottos, and knowing the best nomadic routes or waystations.
 * Food preparation (usually as a specialty) falls under Survival.
 * Combined with Craft, can help find the necessary materials to improvise a basic repair of one's personal gear or weapon (such as finding and substituting a spearhead of one material with another).
