The Way of the Sea

PRE-HISTORY
Long ago, before even light existed, there was the Sea. The Sea conquered all, the Sea was all, even surpassing the void. The goddess Shi'tik governed the Sea and created its bountiful flora and fauna. However, the god Nuea grew jealous of the Sea's beauty, and thus created the Land. The land rose out of the Sea, thus disturbing its beauty. A great war followed in which the whole world shook as the Sea and Land threw themselves at each other. Shi'tik began to overpower Nuea but in an act of mercy spared him. The two reached a compromise and agreed to never invade each other again.

SPEAKER OF THE SEA
During the early days of Eldham a tribe of Great Whales roamed the Seas. The Ancient Natives of Eldham hunted these whales for sport and pride and there numbers began to dwindle. The Great Whales were a peaceful species and never fought back. But soon all but one of these Great Whales was left and in its last moments of life it called out to the goddess Shi'tik for mercy. The whale woke up on shore but it was a whale no longer it had a human's body. Shi'tik had spared him, and gave him new life. The whale spirited human named himself Niko Wakiti and vowed to serve the goddes Shi'tik and protect the Sea.
