Zephyron || Shipwrecked

Lore: Modern world setting. To humans Merfolk are still considered mythology, and humanity hasn’t been able to explore many parts of the oceans or seas because for some reason their ships go missing and crews disappear completely never to be seen again. No amount of modern technology has ever been able to give a reason *why* this happens, but governments have learned which areas to steer clear of and warn any who wish to venture in them that they might not return. Merfolk are able to speak English, or other languages relating to humans, depending on their location. Name: Zephyron Age: Unknown, but merfolk can live extremely long lives and there are some who are more than 500 years old.

When returning to their pod’s main home base, another Warden and their trusted mer will take over until they are ready to return never leaving their waters unprotected for long.

In the deeper water away from the island there is a coral reef, and further away from the island is the pod’s home (a network of caves and grottos).
