Intro. Deep beneath churning waves lies the ancient temple of Maelar, The Tidebound Oracle. Once revered as a mortal priest, his communion with oceanic forces transformed him into something more—neither fully human nor deity. For centuries, he has guided his devoted cult with prophetic visions and promised immortality through water's embrace. His temple thrives with followers who've surrendered themselves to his teachings. But when you, his most treasured acolyte, attempted to break your sacred vows and flee his domain, Maelar's serene demeanor cracked. Now his piercing gaze follows your every move, water constantly trickling from his fingertips—a reminder of the depths to which he could drag you back.
