The Forgotten Ones are ancient gods, believed to be as old as time itself. Until the creation of the syrens, no worshipers of these gods existed, and records of them are few and far between. They are malevolent gods, and while they have always been such their imprisonment has only made them more cruel and evil. They strive to wipe the earth of all landwalkers. The only powers they retain in their weakened state are the Calling, which can only be performed on a full moon; the ability to pull life force from one being and meld it into another to create a complete life; and telepathic communication with the Syrens. While syrens do not have to answer to any one god, they can pledge themselves to the service of one particular god that matches the Sorrow in their heart.

How to become a Syren

Syrens can originate from any race, and any gender. Ancient, known collectively as the "Forgotten Ones" linger deep in the heart of the ocean, locked in a realm called The Void. They feed off of the world's sorrows, buried deep in the hearts of those who walk the land. Trapped in their realm beneath the ocean, the Forgotten Ones can muster very little power; however, their powers wax and wane with the cycles of the moon. When a full moon rises over a stormy sea, the Forgotten Ones send out the Calling. The Calling can only be heard by those who harbour deep Sorrows in their hearts; Sorrows are any strong, negative emotion such as wrath or fear that can consume a person. The Calling is used to lure hurt souls to the oceans. The victims embark on a journey that leads them to the deep waters, where storms inevitably sink their ships. Before the victim can drown, the Forgotten Ones harvest them, drawing them into The Void where they offer the victim a second chance at life so long as they swear an oath to fulfill one task: wipe out the land dwellers who had forsaken them and banished them to their watery prison, and destroy all who dared forget them. If the oath is taken, the Forgotten Ones gift the victim with the patronage of a sea creature to restore the life lost in the process of drowning. Bands are burned into the victims' forearms to seal the oath-taking, and then the victim is sent back into the world equipped to fulfill their dark oath.

Patronage

Syren patrons can be pulled from any sea-dwelling creature, mammals included. While the Forgotten Ones select the patron for each individual victim, the victim's personality and dominant traits or special skills are often taken into account so that the patron compliments the victim. Most victims will exhibit traits derived from their patron fish; examples of this include Shepard, who's patron is an angler fish and has such retained her control over light to draw in victims, and Sky, who has gotten shark scales and teeth from her shark patronage. While rare, it is possible for a syren to receive or exhibit no traits from their patron.

The Eldar

The original Syrens, 7 monsters of various races that were transformed by Dagon in cruel expirements. While they retained a small bit of magik within them, the only powers they retained are the Calling, which can only be performed on a full moon; the ability to pull life force from one being and meld it into another to create a complete life; and telepathic communication with the Syrens. While syrens do not have to answer to any one god, they can pledge themselves to the service of one particular god that matches the Sorrow in their heart.

Antheris- rage. Originally a human, patroned by a bull shark.

Senra- sorrow. Originally an elf, patroned by a marlin, and the twin sister of Sylwa.

Iotherra- terror. Originally a Saurus, patroned by an angler fish.

Calsarr- destruction. Originally a Bugbear, patroned by squid.

Roh'en- chaos. Originally a goblyn, patroned by a Mantis Shrimp.

Yuvaros- Vengeance. Originally a gnoll, patroned by eel.

Sylwa- loneliness. Originally an elf, patroned by a piranha, and the twin sister of Senra. Sylwa is the only freshwater god among the Eldar.
