While most of the green-haired, red-capped and musically gifted merrows, the mermaids populating the waters around Ireland, appear benevolent, there are some in the English Channel that are anything but.

Those lure men to the water with their songs and eat them

Comm for and her friend!

These swamps are dangerous! Blood sucking leeches aren't the only things to worry about anymore. Now you gotta worry about the environment leeching away your mind! Serving the swamp and dragging down others to share your fate...

He never asked why she always walked
By the shore, what she craved
Why she never cried when every wave
Crescendoed like an orchestra of bones.

Most Selkie stories are about the 'Selkie Wife' but one of my favourites is "The Selkie Hunter." A hunter manages to stab a large seal that escapes with his best knife lodged in its side. Besides mourning his knife, the hunter forgets the incident.

This creature is called an Estudon.

They live in swamps, beaches, marshes, and occasionally jungles during seasons where they flood. They can also be found out at sea during migration.

Each piece has its own lore and paints a scene that you can visit. Through this, I created many cities, valleys, and landmarks that are located in the world of Ellysiaka. An example of this is the Swamps of Despair. A place filled with death and sorrow! 💀
