- Domain
- Mountain streams, seeps, springs and the watershed that joins them
- Role
- Messenger, guide, carrier
- Range
- Anywhere in the watershed; nowhere out of reach of running water
Seep is an Undine, and looks like a small mountain stream that has temporarily agreed to hold a recognisable shape — translucent, never entirely still. They cannot go far from running water. Within a connected watershed, however, they turn up in places that ought to be impossible, which makes them the natural messenger of the whole cove.

Shae
Seep brings her word from parts of the forest she could never reach on foot. In exchange, Shae knows where the hidden springs and shaded holdouts are, and which of them will still be wet in a drought — which is the difference, for an Undine of a mountain seep, between a bad summer and no summer at all.
