This haunting painting by Thalorian Marell, official chronicler of the Drowned Dominion of Azurlith, captures a pivotal moment in the spiritual trials of the Breathless Creed—a monastic order within Nimbrassa devoted to the purification of body and soul through meditative suffering. The subject is a Tidebound initiate, suspended in solemn stillness beneath crushing depths, exhaling his final breath as he begins the sacred Trial of Silence. The swirling waters, rising bubbles, and bioluminescent kelp frame his unwavering posture in divine symmetry.
  The piece is revered as a spiritual icon within Nimbrassa and often displayed in sanctums where Tidebound are trained. It symbolizes surrender, discipline, and the unyielding flow of the Current’s will.
