The Unseen Underwater World of Fae's - Ocealis

Overview

Deep beneath the tumultuous waves of the ocean lies Ocealis, an unseen world teeming with magic and mystery, ruled by the powerful Tidalban royal family. This vibrant kingdom governs all of Vaerion, a vast expanse of underwater realms inhabited by fae and aquatic creatures. In Ocealis, beauty and danger intertwine, with each current whispering the echoes of ancient legends and the haunting melodies of the sea.

The Kingdom of Ocealis

Ocealis is a kingdom defined by its breathtaking landscapes, from the shimmering coral palaces that rise like jewels from the ocean floor to the shadowy depths of the Shadow Trenches, where secrets and danger lurk unfathomably deep. The kingdom thrives under the governance of the Tidalban royals, whose lives are imbued with the sea's enchantment and peril.

Hierarchy of the Abyss Court

The Abyss Court is divided into various circles that dictate the governance and societal structure of Ocealis, with each circle holding its own unique power.

The Abyss Circle: Comprising the noble families and royals, this elite circle has the first say on all matters concerning the kingdom. Their influence shapes policies, alliances, and relationships crucial to maintaining the harmony—or discord—within the realm.

The Tidelords: These elite militaries and forces act as the defenders of Ocealis, bound by duty and honor to protect their kingdom from threats, whether they dwell in the depths of the ocean or rise from the surface world.

The Mystics: Composed of politicians, historians, and seers, these sages interpret the tides of fate and history. Their wisdom guides the royals, helping predict the futures of individuals and kingdoms alike.

Wrecks: The darkest circle of all, the "Wrecks" comprises those banished from society for crimes too great to be forgiven. Their whispered names are spoken in fear, and Prince Calder's rumored affiliation adds a shroud of mystery and danger to his character.

Weapons and Weaknesses

In the depths of Ocealis, weaponry is as varied as the creatures that inhabit the seas:

Tridents: Symbolizing power and authority, these weapons serve both as tools for combat and as ceremonial artifacts, often wielded by royals and high-ranking military leaders.

Eel Current Whips: Used by the agile elites of the Tidelords, these weapons can deliver devastating electric shocks to enemies while allowing for swift, fluid movements in combat.

Sea Blades and Deadly Coral Blades: Forged from enchanted materials, these blades cut through water and sinew alike, ensuring that the wielder has both elegance and lethality.

Shark Bone Arrows: Crafted from the remains of fallen sea predators, these arrows are not only deadly but serve as reminders of the cycle of life and death in Ocealis.

Abilities and Attributes of the Fae

The fae of Ocealis bear unique physical traits that facilitate their survival in this underwater world:

Flared Ears and Gills: These adaptations allow fae to hear the whispers of the ocean and breathe effortlessly beneath the waves.

Bioluminescent Tattoos: Each fae has their own unique patterns that glow in shades of blue, green, and violet. These tattoos serve as both form of communication and a defense mechanism, illuminating the depths in times of danger.

Lean Frames: Their bodies are built for speed and agility, enabling them to navigate their watery domain with grace and precision.

High King Maelstrom: Ocean's father, the revered ruler of Ocealis, commands the tides with unmatched authority. An imposing figure with a fierce gaze, Maelstrom is both respected and feared throughout the kingdom. He has sacrificed much for power and stability, often placing duty over family, a choice that has strained his relationship with Ocean. Though he loves his son, his expectations weigh heavily on Ocean, and he struggles to understand the darker side of their legacy.

Lost High Queen Nerisa: Ocean's mother, rumored to be alive and hidden in the treacherous Shadow Trenches, embodies the enchanting yet tragic stories of the ocean. Her haunting songs are said to resonate through the waves, reflecting her deep sorrow and connection to Ocean.

Youngest Brother Calder: The enigmatic Dark Prince, Calder is Ocean's younger brother, constantly shrouded in secrecy and whispers. Gifted with dark magic, he struggles with his identity and the stigma of being associated with the "Wrecks," a banished circle of misfits. Calder's connection to darkness poses a threat to his family and their legacy, yet he yearns for acceptance within the palace walls. He often finds solace in the shadows, grappling with his place in a world that fears him while secretly hoping to prove his worth.

Seashell Naerys's Family

General Carol: Seashell's biological father and a loyal general in Ocealis, he is a stern but caring figure. Having brought Seashell into this enchanting yet dangerous realm after the death of her human mother, he strives to protect her while adhering to the rigid customs of the fae world. Carol's duty binds him to the kingdom, often leaving him torn between his responsibilities to Ocealis and the care for his daughter. He is fiercely protective of Seashell, always wanting the best for her, even as he grapples with the consequences of their unconventional life together.

Step-Mother Amara: A former noble of Ocealis, Amara is a gentle yet regal presence in Seashell's life. She tries to bridge the gap between Seashell's human past and her new life as a fae. Despite her kindness, Seashell still feels the weight of being unwanted, leading to a strained relationship.

Charismatic and confident, she often embodies the ideal of an océanian fae, exhibiting the enchanting qualities that draw others to her. While Nyxeria tries to include Seashell and often appears supportive, there is an undercurrent of rivalry between the sisters stemming from Nyxeria's assumption of superiority. Nyxeria's loyalty to her own ambitions often blinds her to the struggles Seashell faces as an outsider.
