Cold, wet, and grey. The cliffs are dark, imposing black rock, stark against beaches of bone-white sand.
The water is dark and clear, hiding jagged rocks just beneath the surface.

Their song becomes what you most desire. The rukh of a drowning soul is a delicacy.
They collect the shipwrecks like trophies.

Sirens. They control the rocky outcroppings and lure ships to their doom. They are not rumors here—they are the apex predators.
