PureJewel

In the enchanted underwater City of Glass, what will you sacrifice for immortality? Love, memories, freedom? Will you take freedom from others to win your heart's desire? Dive into a world of mermaids, mermen, and other merfolk, where every character has secrets, and nothing is what it seems!
The whales have granted the merfolk eternal life, and asked you for so little in return. Defense against the giant squid. Secrecy from humans. But when a rogue mermaid tries to destroy the gift of immortality, ancient secrets rise from the depths, and the delicate balance of society rests in your hands.

It almost feels silly, when you look out on the scale of things. How can your pitiful hammer stop the onslaught, the hive mind of giant squid working together to overwhelm even the great behemoths? You're supposed to bash them into submission one by one? It's madness. You shouldn't be here.


Two Everwardens purposefully dart past you, their action goading you out of your self-reflection. As you push to join them, one of them pauses and turns around. It's Arraia, full of determination. "Kavitha," she says. "The giant squid are out here in full force. Stick close to me or Estre." She reflexively winds her rope, and smiles. "Don't worry, though. If you get into trouble, I'll fish you out."


Estre hefts his trident. "And remember," he says, "don't feel like you have to prove yourself. Stay safe. This is way beyond a normal fight. Not very fair for your first time." He smiles too, despite his reservations. "Give 'em hell, though."


You're too new to have been assigned a specific role; while you're supposed to focus on protecting the whales, you also have the freedom to help out where you can.
