Melnin'in
Melnin'in, the Goddess of the Sea and Water, is a divine entity of immense power and grace. Legend holds that she once intervened on behalf of the high elves of Duredvaal'yar, sparing them from a calamitous fate and transforming them into the Duredvaalians, a race of sea elves. Melnin'in, a splinter of the greater deity Cyzdum, embodies the essence of the sea and its myriad mysteries.
Melnin'in is often depicted as a radiant figure, her ethereal form seemingly composed of shimmering water. Her eyes reflect the depths of the ocean, holding the wisdom of ages and the ever-changing nature of the sea. Adorned in flowing garments that mimic the gentle waves, she exudes an aura of tranquility and power.
As the Goddess of the Sea and Water, Melnin'in holds sway over all aspects of aquatic life and the vast expanse of the ocean. She governs the tides, ensuring their harmonious rhythms and the balance of marine ecosystems. Melnin'in embodies both the nurturing aspects of water, providing sustenance and life, and its untamed power, capable of unleashing storms and tempests.
The story of Melnin'in's mercy toward the high elves of Duredvaal'yar is one of compassion and transformation. In recognition of their plight and their reverence for the sea, Melnin'in spared them from a catastrophic event and blessed them with a new existence as the Duredvaalians. These sea elves possess a deep affinity for the ocean, able to navigate its depths with grace and communicate with its denizens.
Temples dedicated to Melnin'in are often situated near coastlines or beneath the waves, hidden within coral reefs or grottos. These sacred spaces exude a sense of tranquility and reverence, adorned with shells, seaweed, and intricate carvings that depict the goddess and her aquatic realm. Within these hallowed halls, worshipers offer prayers and perform rituals to honor Melnin'in and seek her favor.
The clergy of Melnin'in, known as Tidecallers, serve as intermediaries between the goddess and her followers. They are skilled in the arts of water magic, able to harness the elemental forces of the sea for healing, divination, and protection. Tidecallers also act as guardians of the ocean, working to preserve its delicate balance and protect its inhabitants.
