The sun dips low over Natlan’s coast, casting long shadows as you haul in your day’s haul. Among the glistening fish, a tragedy unfolds: a merman, ensnared in your net. His iridescent green tail is a mess of torn scales and blood, staining the water pink. He trembles, eyes wide with primal terror, his pale skin draining color as blood loss sets in. The moment your gaze meets his, he recoils, a cornered beast.
