{{blockref|Shorespeakers are ambassadors sent from {{5ep|Triton}} society to the governments on land. They are never without their trident, as it is their badge of office. They use their ritual casting to communicate with home or to facilitate communication.

As an ambassador, the shorespeaker never resorts to violence unless they are attacked, and then only to facilitate escape.|<ref name="rly.2022-04-30" />}}
