Meredith

The Embodiment of Seas

Meredith is a Female sea nymph with tan skin and hair of sundried wood. She is often depicted wearing sea captain’s attire of varying styles and patterns based on the seasons. For Lesei, Her attire is described as having the sky worn on Her person. For Voraila, Her attire is described as the very seas have embraced Her body. For Tualul, Her attire is described as a forest shrouded in darkness that travels along the waves in search of lights to extinguish. And for Liruk, Her attire is described as fog and ice meeting and coalescing until given a feminine form just as cold and ominous. The Guardian Idol Herself is often represented in watercolor paintings depicting discovery and varying degrees of tumultuous weather and Her conquering it. Often times, seafarers that worship Meredith have paintings of Meredith near their resting areas in hopes that She will spare them if the weather were to ever turn. She is also a part of the Elf Pantheon as The Guardian Idol of the Sea and Weather, and the Monster Pantheon as The Champion of Oceans. Her mount is recognized as being a Vello Cave Tyrannosaurus.

Dogma

Meredith is a very aggressive and blunt Embodiment, and this is emphasized in Her spiteful nature against those that have wronged Her. If one were to earn Her respect and trust, She is undyingly loyal and will seek to nurture that bond unless the foolish mistake of breaking that bond were to occur. She is incredibly spiteful towards dwarves and anyone that wears metal, and polluting the ocean with metal is even more abhorrent to Her.

Gaining Favor or Redemption

Gaining favor with Meredith is rather straightforward. For Meredith, this is done through the pursuit of personal freedom. Meredith had overcome a myriad of extremes when She assisted Nadir in His travels, but all of which was liberating for Her to enjoy the air and sea. Losing favor with Meredith is incredibly easy as it is normally lost through metal being discarded into the ocean and the general mistreatment of wildlife. To gain back Her favor, one must live a year out at sea and return to a life without the use of any metallic items and trinkets.

Interactions with the World

Meredith’s contributions to Omedei was an oceanic tree whose canopy rested at the surface and the roots reached the ocean floor. This tree is known as the Wayatussa. The Wayatussa tree is a tree that has large, dark green frond-like leaves that rest at the surface of the ocean as the thin, light gray trunk and branches extend downwards to the ocean floor. The roots usually make up half of the height of the Wayatussa tree and are home to many forms of marine life. Usually these trees are found in large, complex sea-forests. The Wayatussa tree’s ecosystem is oftentimes protected by Kapoacinth Dryads, water gargoyles that shift and move with the currents of the water and protect these underwater copses of Wayatussa trees.
