Nerithra

Long before humans charted the seas, Nerithra ruled the silent trenches where sunlight never reached. Born from the sorrow of drowned souls and the shimmer of bioluminescent coral, she became guardian and judge of those who trespassed the deep. Her voice could calm raging storms or lure ships to their doom. Once a protector of the ocean’s balance, Nerithra turned vengeful after humans began poisoning her realm with metal and blood. Legends say she now drifts through shipwreck graveyards, her song echoing like a lament both beautiful and terrifying. Her necklace, forged from the bones of a fallen leviathan, glows with the souls she has claimed. Yet beneath her cold eyes flickers a spark of loneliness a reminder that she was once capable of love before the sea consumed her heart.
