Aelia Valsyne

Statuesque and gracefully athletic, with the long limbs and posture of a trained dancer. No illnesses, but her veins occasionally glow with bioluminescent light—side effect of communing deeply with Thalor’s dreams.

• Skin has intricate, faintly glowing patterns that resemble coral branches.
• Tiny sapphire-like scales form at the edges of her shoulders and hips.
• When using dream magic, her breath visibly condenses into drifting iridescent bubbles.

Her luminous eyes and the crystalline jewelry partially fused into her body. Shards of living crystal hover near her hair, orbiting slowly even when she stands still.

• Oneirocurrent: Can navigate the dream tides of the sea, moving between minds with the grace of a drifting jellyfish.
• Memory Pearl: Encapsulates traumatic memories into glowing pearls that can be stored, examined, or ritually cleansed.
• Tide of Tranquility: Projects a soothing psychic undertow that eases fear, pain, and intrusive thoughts.
• Nightmare Reef: If threatened, can manifest a defense of spectral coral and ghostly sea predators that attack intruding minds

• Draped in flowing garments of woven sea-silk and silver, adorned with intricate geometric embroidery that resembles wave patterns.
• Wears a crystalline breastplate inset with sapphires.
• Girdle of golden chain and lapis charms; earrings like tiny ship wheels.
• Always barefoot, anklets of tiny bell shells that tinkle with her steps.

• Dreamshell Talisman: A spiraled nautilus shell that hums with Thalor’s song, used to focus deeper dream dives.
• Coral Circlet: Channels her god’s power to anchor her mind if beset by nightmare creatures.
• Glass Scepter of the Mire: Allows her to draw visions from the deepest ocean trenches or nightmares of drowned sailors.

Trained in the sacred rites, hymns, and dream channels of Thalor under the Deep Canticle’s most cryptic psalmists.

Official Dreamweaver of the Deep Canticle, often dispatched to heal or interpret troubling dreams tied to the ocean’s moods.

• Dispelled a plague of drowning nightmares from an entire fishing village.
• Wove the dreams of a coastal prince into clarity, averting a disastrous war with a neighboring trade city.

Once underestimated a rift-born horror in a sailor’s mind, resulting in a temporary psychic backlash that left her speechless for weeks.

Carries lingering fragments of the Abyssal Leviathan’s ancient loneliness, which sometimes colors her dreams with profound sorrow

• Deeply introspective
• Poetically articulate, with a tendency to see the world through metaphor and song.

• Life is a tide: always shifting, sometimes destructive, always renewing.
• Seeks to mend rather than judge.

Would never twist a dream to plant false memories or alter someone’s core being. Considers it a sacrilege against both mind and sea.

Hopes to chart the deepest dream currents of Thalor’s dominion and one day build a sanctuary where the dream-wounded can find lasting peace.

• Hunted by a cult that believes she holds the key to unlocking Thalor’s dream-labyrinth.

The Ocean as Living Dream

Aelia believes the ocean is the vast, dreaming mind of Thalor. Its tides are his shifting thoughts, its storms his passions, and its depths his ancient desires. To her, every current carries memories not just of mortals, but of the world itself.

Ritual and Communion

She practices daily water rites, such as whispering confessions into tidepools or letting the sea trace her veins. Before dreamwalking, she anoints her brow with deep-sea oil to invite Thalor’s guidance.

Personal Creed

“All tides return to the sea. All dreams return to Thalor. In his embrace, no fear is without purpose, no sorrow without cleansing. I carry the burdens of the drowning, and lead them back to breath.”

Graceful, inviting, almost hypnotic in speech. Prefers speaking softly so others lean close—an intimacy that suits her ministry.

Frequently brushes a lock of hair behind her ear while speaking. Holds prolonged, gentle eye contact that feels like a tide drawing you in.
