Storm Watch

Warning: mentions of killing and violence!

A great danger lurks in the very waters that many merfolk used to live in. It's a danger even they try to avoid at all costs. A section of the ocean that is only visible from the shores of Rockdoors' watch towers as a giant storm - rolling on and on but forever stuck in one place shrouding the waters under itself as a gray veil of rain and low fog.

That section of the ocean is known as the Siren Seas and a group organized with support from Mayor Thundrall named "the Storm Watchers" has taken on the task to keep their eyes peeled for any attempts of the storm to advance and creep closer to any inhabited place.
The organization consists of thirty to thirty-five students with the highest of grades and from all specializations, two leaders and ten armored dolphins who are known for their speed and stability and can deliver messages or passengers for no time.

WHY is the Siren Seas Storm dangerous?

W

hile in other worlds the term "siren" is synonymous to either "harpy" or "mermaid", for Terra sirens are an evil thing. They are the souls of merfolk who did crimes in their lives and were killed in result of a death sentence.  Their souls got stuck, unable to cross over to their version of Heaven. Now angry and violent they gather together with other similar souls and their presence creates the storm. Should a sailor who doesn't know he should stay away, enter the storm ring he would experience a sudden shift in the perception of what's going on: he would see the sky clearing up, the waters calming down and the screeching voices of the ghostly apparitions will sound like songs to him and his crew. Should they make it further or spend longer in there they'll start experiencing hallucinations of beautiful women/men (whatever their sexuality desires) who'd be dancing on the rocks and luring them to sail closer to the "Graveyard" - and should the sailors get tempted to follow they'd get stuck in the sudden shallows, forced to jump in the waters and in the stormy waves the restless spirits would finish them off with ease.

The Storm Watch exists to make certain the Sirens' storm doesn't close in on inhabited lands as if it does - anyone and anything on them would be endangered. Without being located directly over water the Sirens would most likely attempt to possess living beings and use the anger that binds them to have them kill each other.

ORGANIZATION

The Storm Watchers are a mini-organization under the Underwater Magic Academy "Trismegist" 's umbrella. They have two leaders who give the tasks and directions as well as receives reports for the storms' position and summarizes them to forward to the Academy's Headmistress. She can decide if the school's own security should be contacted to go and summon reinforcements who'd act to keep the Siren Seas' storms away from the shores of the town and the island of Berrense.
