The Origin of Tide

“The sea remembers everything it touches.”

When the World Tree wept for the first time, its tears became the oceans - vast mirrors that reflected all realms at once.
From those waters rose the Realm of Tides, kingdom of Merfolk, Leviathans, and Spirits of Memory.
Its waves are not of salt and current alone, but of thought and feeling, each tide drawn by the moon's breath.

The Tide teaches that emotion is not weakness, but current -
and one who sails without steering it is lost.
It is the element of reflection, empathy, and surrender - for no river resists its end in the sea.
