Siren

Sirens are the mortal descendants of celestials associated with the emotions. They live among the rocky isles of Charásma, a once lush land that broke apart and sank during the Sundering of the world. Once known for their joyful singing, their songs are now touched by the sorrow of the loss of their ancestral homeland, and many sirens seek a way to bring back Charásma to its former grandeur. Until then, sirens sing their songs from the broken rocky outcroppings that poke out of the ocean for passersby to hear and learn the tale of the woe the Sundering brought.
