Lord of Water, Ma'el
The Aquan Augur
A Unique Rise to Power
Ma’el stands as the only elemental lord who rose to power neither through origination nor bloodshed. The previous lord was a great warrior, with an icy glacial heart. For thousands of years the plane of Aecor was a land of harsh depths and monstrous entities. When Ma’el arrived on the scene, he melted the frozen heart of the previous lord and won the admiration of many other elementals and marids. His way with words made him very much a king of the people.
The Hapless Augur
Even to this day, Ma’el is a poor leader. He allows the events of the plane of water to unfold as they will and work themselves out. Almost opposite of the lord of fire, he prefers not to impose his rule at all. He has been noted to be clumsy, and on occasions will even avoid responsibility when it comes for him. He is not, however, a powerless being. Ma’el is a supreme mage, commanding control over the oceans and waters as fluidly as an artist's brush. He would rather evade than fight, but when he is forced to action he attacks with all the might of the sea.
Cascade, Heart of the Ocean.
The personal treasure of the Aquan Augur is a masterful ocarina made of never-melting ice. Its form is pure, and cannot be shattered or corrupted by any means. The true power of this item lies in the music it can create. Not only can the wielder command any creature of the ocean, but the tides themselves. It is said that the music played with it is so beautiful that it lulled the old lord of the sea into a peaceful slumber.
