Eelisma

Eelisma carried the look of someone shaped more by tides than by land. Her skin held a faint brine sheen, and the whites of her eyes were swallowed by a sea-green glare that made it impossible to tell where she was looking. Long strands of hair-like seaweed drifts around her as if still underwater, never settling against her shoulders. When she spoke, her voice dragged with a low, tidal pull that set people on edge before she ever raised a hand. Those who met her close enough described the smell of kelp and old storms clinging to her like a cloak.
  Her story unfolded in blood and half-forgotten rituals. She moved between islands, always hunting for the next piece needed to wake her mother. On Basilika she conducted sacrifices with a steady, practiced rhythm, guiding victims into firepits or down obsidian chutes without hesitation. In the underworld she fought with bursts of draining magic that left skin grey and hearts stuttering. Only later did the truth settle in: she was the tenth child of Sootha and Oceanus Tempest, born in secrecy after the goddess’s mind splintered. That hidden birth twisted her into something neither mortal nor divine, something obsessed with repairing a family that could never be healed.
  When the final ritual in Milos began, she worked with a cold intensity. She showed no hatred toward the newborn she meant to use—only fixation. The black ivory tower was thick with brine vapour as she tried to pull her mother’s spirit into the infant’s body. Even as armies clashed below and stormbloods abandoned their posts, she kept her focus on the ritual stones. After her defences fell and the Shatterbrand closed in, she fought with a frenzied strength but never once begged or bargained. Her death came fast, and when she collapsed, a thin mist of seawater rose from her body before settling back to the earth, as if the ocean itself refused to take her home.
 
  Exploring the island they found a statue to the sea goddess Sootha in a clearing. On the beach some of the party finds the decrepit body of Diggory's son, sacrificed at a driftwood sculpture resembling a terrifying version of the sea goddess. A fish eyed lady known later only as Eelisma swam away into the ocean. Sossarri found another pearl on the boy’s body.
  ou find a clearing with a Mayan-esque temple and a ton of cultists in masks. Eelisma was at the top of the pyramid throwing batgoblin sacrifices into a pit of fire. Party interrupted ritual, attacked Eelisma and then ran. Fish-eyed woman shoots a life-draining beam and almost killed some people. Made it back to Eidon, informed Diggory, and went back to the clearing with 15 mud guards. Beat up some cultists and stopped some ritual drummers. Jumped into a fire portal to the underworld.
  Fought some Grimlocks, found a desecrate statue of Sootha with imposter written on it. Defeated some kuo-toa. After making their way through they found Eelisma at the end, she activated an old totem using the Pearls of the Stormblood that Sossori had been collecting and released the sea goddess from her sleep. As they made it to the surface, a large hurricane was beginning to form in the distance.
  As they arrived the hurricane storm that started as they left Eidon was getting worse. A tsunami could be seen on the horizon.
  Eelisma took the bones to Milos to perform another ritual. Diggory’s son did not have a strong enough bond with the sea goddess. The specter was the angry spirit of Oceanus Tempest, the Ocean King. The spirit disappeared when his bonse left the tomb. As Hydri's new ruler, Maximus asked you to retrieve the bones of his great ancestor. Max reveals that the prophetic Stormblood Kricia of Milos is almost due with his unborn child. He fears Eelisma will sacrifice his child to try and bring Sootha back. He offers you riches once he becomes the Ocean King to protect his unborn baby and his fiancée Kricia. You prepare to head to Milos, the island of seamstresses and sail-weavers. Kricia and Maximus’ child would have the strongest blood connection to the claim of the Ocean Throne. The old lines of 30 years previous were drawn, the weak nations decide to rally against the strong once more. Typhon had the largest army, Zephyr had the largest fleet and Gyaron had the best fighters. All 3 were called to arms when the sea goddess awoke, even though all 3 leader had ulterior motives than just serving the sea goddess.
  You arrive to find the baby has been born and Eelisma was trying to transfer the sea goddess into the baby atop a black ivory tower in the centre of Milos. You learn how the sea goddess and Ocean King were in love, having 9 children centuries ago. As Sootha grew more crazed, Oceanus Tempest had to kill his wife. Unbeknownst to him, she was with child. Their 10th child became the grotesque Eelisma and she spent ages plotting how to bring her mother back. You have an honor fight with Tayne, Stormblood of Gyaron, which Sossori wins by turning into a bear and he concedes what he is doing is not honorable. He pulls his Viking horde from the battle. After an obelisk puzzle and a battle atop the spire, the party embarrasses Lord Thormund using a charm spell. A Zephyr soldier takes the baby in a carriage and rides for the docks. Moira needed to finish her pact or her soul would be lost for eternity, Moira kills Snerz as the battle with Eelisma nears its end. He still thought of the group as his best friends and family. Henri kills Eelisma as Sossori and Chris race to retrieve the baby girl.
  Eelisma of Basilika, killed by Henri Sallya is without an heir. Maximus will decide what to do with this island now that the war is over. Rumours are of a shrine honoring Sootha, something that should have been on all the islands as she was all the stormblood's great ancestor.
