Tuvasa the Sunlit
In the deep jungles of Ixalan live the River Heralds, a nation of merfolk split into dozens of fragmentary clans called bands. Each band is led by a Shaper, a merfolk shaman well-versed in the language of the rainforest. Tuvasa, known as the Sunlit, stands out among the Shapes both for he expertise in nature magic and her unusual views on the relation of the sun and the watering home of the River Heralds.
Uniting the World Tradition teaches the Sharpers that the wind, water, and jungle of Ixalan are three parts of a greater whole. Each is equally necessary, and in the absence of one the other two would collapse. Despite what some would say, Tuvasa does not rebuke this idea, only seeks to more fully understand and improve upon it.
For Tuvasa, the sunlight which falls upon Ixalan's jungles and rivers is another element in this grand whole, a powerful force that allows the unification of the other three. For Tuvasa, the sun is not a single part in the cycle, but a constant presence throughout it, and for the River Heralds to not take into account its presence is to miss a key element of the way the world works.
Unpopular Opinion Tuvasa's fascination with the sun has slowly won over more and more Shapers, but those who side with her remain in the minority. While most other Shapers are content to remain neutral to the idea, seeing no harm in Tuvasa's personal beliefs, others do not take the message peacefully.
Some shapers see Tuvasa's obsession with the sun as one more influence of the Sun Empire, the human civilization which has all but driven them from their ancestral homes. Some of these antagonistic Shapers believe Tuvasa has willingly sided with the Sun Empire, though others see her ideas as a premonition of future dangers and Tuvasa as an unknowing mouthpiece. For her part, Tuvasa sees these Shapers as too narrow-minded, but knows the value of tradition, and thinks they are only misguided in their anger against her.
