Who they are
Nami is the first of her underwater tribe to venture onto dry land. When the moonstone protecting her people dimmed, she performed the Tidecaller ritual to fetch an abyssal pearl.
She now acts as her tribe's emissary, wielding water magic and her mother's staff to find the Aspect of the Moon.
Their story belongs to Wanderers. Demons, spirits and ancient survivors that belong to no single place.
Their story, step by step
- Step 1
A daughter of the Marai
Nami grew up in the Marai Village, in an underwater Vastaya territory off the coast of Mount Targon. She has water magic and can live in the deep sea.
- Step 2
A fading moonstone
The moonstone that guards the Marai from deep-sea predators began to dim. Tradition says a Tidecaller must fetch an abyssal pearl to trade to land dwellers for a new stone. The tribe chose Rasho.
- Step 3
Taking the trial herself
After a month with no sign of Rasho, Nami decided to go herself despite worries about her rashness. She took her mother's staff, dove into the abyss and after several days came back with the pearl and Rasho's staff. She became the tribe's Tidecaller.
- Step 4
An empty bargain
On the surface she learned the Aspect of the Moon had left Targon, so no replacement stone could be had in the usual way. She decided to find Diana, the Aspect of the Moon.
- Step 5
First onto land
Using the staff to raise water beneath her, Nami became the first of the Marai to walk on dry land and set off on her quest.
Turning points
- Taking the Tidecaller trial in Rasho's place
- Learning the Aspect of the Moon had left Targon
- Becoming the first Marai to leave the sea
Where their story stands now
Nami is the Marai's emissary and is still looking for Diana. Her tribe's future is not secured yet.
