Havel Marlindrift
the Tidewrack Merman
Named for the old river Havel that runs to the sea, and for the line of drift that marks where the moon pulls the tide highest.
Power
Moonsurge — you can pull the tide into a single towering wave by raising your hands to a full moon, but afterwards the sea leaves you for three days, and you float on the slack water, useless.
- Familiar
- a lamprey named Anchor
- Tide
- the Wrack Tide
You are peeling a barnacle off a drowned sailor's thumb when you feel the moon rise through the water. The barnacle's shell rings like a bell, and you remember that you have been doing this for centuries — prying things loose from the dead, waiting for a tide that will take you somewhere else.
