Daeron Silvershield
the Pearlbound Elf
Named for the first pearl ever formed in the deep trench of his house's bay, a stone that remembers the light of a drowned star.
Tidecalling — you can raise or lower the sea's breath by shedding a single pearl from your own clenched hand, but each pearl costs a memory you have held for more than a century, and you have forgotten the taste of your mother's voice.

It was an ordinary morning when you first heard the tide answer your word. You had been standing on the dock, complaining to the fishmonger about the price of eel, and the water simply rose to meet your boot. You did not speak of it. But that night, you found a pearl in your palm where a bruise should have been, and you understood what you had traded.
