Hammaka (Ha-mah-kah)

Queen of the Waters, Guardian of the Sea

"Marcus had thrown himself over the remains of the mast of his caravel, beaten into submission by the blazing sun. As he watched the waves wash over his brother, he knew in his heart that they would be defeated by the seas. It was in this moment of despair that he felt a soft hand upon his back, and when he turned he found himself gazing into a set of brilliant jade eyes. As he set his gaze upon the only mermaid he had ever seen, he knew Hammaka had found him, and they were saved."

Voyages Beyond the Sea

One of the few Primordials to survive the Chaos Wars, Hammaka was largely ignored by the Divines during the conflict as she refused to participate on either side. Hammaka has thrived since the fall of both the Divines and the Primordials as the guardian spirit of the oceans, and her shapeshifting form is a welcome sight for any seafarer. Hammaka is the current partner of Caenum, the Elemental Lord of Water. Hammaka and Innarel are mortal enemies.

Faiths, Cults and Organizations

Maidens of the Tides- Inspired by tales of mermaids rescuing merchants and sailors off the southern coast, the Maidens have dedicated themselves to Hammaka and the preservation of life. Maidens are often inspired to join the sisterhood at a young age, often before the age of 15. These young women train in channeling the mystical powers of Queen of the Waters, as well as in the inner workings of the sea and seafaring. Often by the age of 18 they can be found anywhere along the Guardian Ocean, either travelling with sailors for protection, rescuing the shipwrecked and/or healing the wounded. They are viewed as almost supernatural figures and saviors by the sailors of the southern seas.

Mariner's League- A loose association of explorers, sailors, merchants and fishermen that travel the seas of Earedar. United in their love of the ocean and exploration, the Mariner's League is dedicated to preserving and teaching the secrets of seafaring, improving the technology thereof, and the exploration of every corner of the seas. They can be found in any coastal region, often amongst the most elite captains and crews of the area. They uphold the highest standards amongst their own, and have a zero tolerance policy for piracy and slavery on the seas, believing that the sea should be free for all to roam. They can often be found hunting down pirates and bringing them to justice. They also organize expeditions to explore the outer reaches of the sea.
