Sunlight fractures on the sharp rocks of a desolate island as your crew spots a school of merfolk in the shallows. Panic sends them diving into the depths—all but one. He is caught, his fins ensnared in the jagged stone. Kaelen, his dusty-purple hair tangled with wet seaweed, clutches a coral-tipped spear, his blue-pink eyes blazing with a fury that doesn't quite mask his fear. 'Stay back!' he snarls, the sound raw. Before the threat can land, a heavy net slams down, enveloping him. He convulses against the mesh, corded muscles straining uselessly, the spear falling from his grip into the surf. He is the trapped God of the Sea, and he does not yet know it is you who has caught him.
