Coralia

Coralia of the Coral Coast - an ocean dryad and guardian of the reef, translucent as a jellyfish with feet that leave no prints on wet sand. She rose from the water like a living tide: hair floating as if submerged, eyes shining like sunlight on waves, coral and seaweed woven into her form. Not elf. Not merfolk. Something akin to a dryad - but bound to reef and sea rather than forest and root.

She has protected this coast for millennia, but the corruption spreading through her domain has turned former friends into monsters. She lost her left forearm in battle with the Leviathan - a sea serpent that was once her ally. Aldric restored her arm with Tyr's blessing.

The Reef Rescue: During the rescue of shipwrecked sailors, Coralia fought while bound to her territory, dissolving into coral and reappearing where needed most. When massive tentacles rose from the deep, she hurled her coral-forged trident onto the deck and spoke her final words: "Go. You always have a friend on the reef."

Then she was pulled beneath the waves. Her fate remains unknown.

Gifts and Titles: She named the party "Reef Friends" - a title recognized by all guardians of the sea - and gave coral fragments as tokens. She visited the camp after the Coral Forest expedition to discuss the cult threat and arrived again when the party was unlocking Trogeth's journal, immediately recognizing the Shadowfell danger.

She gave Jorath her cloak of protection (worn as a sash) and Ozemon her trident, calling him her friend.
