== Lady Miralyn of the Deep Pearl ==

Lady **Miralyn Thalassor Drake**, known more commonly as **Lady Miralyn of the Deep Pearl**, is both a mysterious figure in **Harbour City’s elite circles** and a high-ranking noble within **Triton society beneath the waves**. She walks between two worlds—land and sea—and is deeply influential in both.

=== In Harbour City Society ===

While she rarely attends public galas or court proceedings, her presence is always noted when she does. Elegant, inscrutable, and never seen without her pearl-trimmed sea-velvet shawl, Lady Miralyn is rumored to advise **The Lord Governor of Harbour City** behind closed doors on matters of maritime law, diplomacy with underwater nations, and defense strategies involving aquatic threats.

* She's considered the unofficial **ambassador of the Tritons** to Harbour City.
* Nobles respect her, but also fear her mysterious ties to deep-sea powers.
* Some say she is the real power behind Admiral Drake's rise—politically maneuvering him into prominence.

=== In Triton Society ===

Beneath the waves, Lady Miralyn is a **High Priestess of Skoraeus**, the Triton god of oceanic balance and deep secrets. She holds one of the **Seven Shells of Sapphiris**, sacred relics that grant her influence across underwater Triton settlements from the Sea of Mists to the Drowned Reaches.

* She leads a **circle of sea-sorceresses**, many of whom ride giant seahorses or krakenspawn mounts.
* Her word is law in the Coral Spire Courts—an elite judicial and religious order in the capital reef-city **Auraleth**.
* It is whispered that she has brokered truces with sahuagin warlords and merrow kings through sheer force of will and divine power.

=== Relationship with Admiral Caelin Drake ===

Theirs is a **partnership of equals**, bonded through both marriage and a sacred **Oath of Tides**—a rare magical pact that binds a surface noble and a sea-blooded cleric. Their union is not only romantic but political and spiritual.

* Some suspect their son or daughter (depending on your campaign) may be destined for a role uniting the surface and undersea kingdoms.
* Others whisper darker rumors: that their love was **forged in a divine pact** and if broken, a terrible curse may be unleashed.

== Adventure Hook ==

The party must find her before Drake launches an all-out assault on Harbour City’s enemies—whether or not they were involved. Clues point to a **forgotten undersea temple**, where a **primordial being of the abyss** may have been awakened.
