   • when this happens: near any oceanic border of land and water, under a full silver moon, cloudy skies that have not set to darkness, a receded tide, low.
   • who is called: those with pain in their hearts, loss of purpose, a need to cease to be. they hear the bones chiming in empty air even miles inland, and seek the sound of comfort to its source. they follow the call of Allharlequzzo to their strandling
   • what occurs: the moment they reach the shore they see walking across it a being robed in white, face a star snail shell: one eyehole: skin smooth and alabaster white. they ask those called to strip themselves of what makes them mortal, and come across the salt and into rebirth. they will find they can and will strip themselves of their skin as well as their clothes. it is without pain: this is a healing. afterward, they wade through the grey, and are drowned without dying in the typhoon of Allharlequzzo, woven in water cocoon.
   • what they become: years later, they erupt from their sacs and are fully adult merrow, something the shape of merfolk but not. they will roam around in pods and sing the songs of the pale hunter, asserting allhalequzzo's change in boundaries. they have no home except the strange derelict gillnets they drag around as nests, and release entangled sea life from.

   - name of species: the merrow (otherwise, they would not have a term to call themselves. they may not be the 'true' merrow. the name is merely for other beings during their interactions, they do not need it themselves) - gender: any gender - god: Allharlequzzo, in all of this forms - role: nomadic servitors. they swim between the boundaries of oceans and star nurseries. they are tasked with singing lullabies to new stars. one could reduce their complexity to a roving band of strange mer-folk musicians who like to sing to sparkly things. they stay 'ocean bound', be it, the boundary of the ocean on a planet or in the sky. being such transient beings, they do not tell the difference between a nebulae and the murk within the bottom of the ocean. - longevity: they will live in youth as long as they are not physically killed. they are reborn as adults from those who used to be adults. they do not reproduce. (they can have sex and do have romantic partners) - temperament: as those that nurture cosmic souls, they have high emotional intelligence and are very sensitive. the need to protect can easily seem like vicious and violent creatures. when they love it is transcending between other sapient creatures, especially humans. - word of caution: though beneficial to the cosmos and stability, that does not mean friendly outright. they are very dangerous beings who are neutral to lesser creatures but will feast upon them if needed. - they are/have: very strong, stronger than many other lesser beings + obviously 'breathe underwater' + heightened sense of smell (can smell intent), sight, touch + their singing has intent as much as it is calling out their names between one another (their names are musical notes!) they can manipulate brain waves/synapses of lesser beings and control them. this can be stopped by someone with nominal occult knowledge + in a pod, merrow can sing chants in their language that can even capsize ships from making waters dangerous. if really riled up, they can flood coastal cities. this has rarely happened as they keep out of the affairs of people. + merrow know many ruins across many planets, a wide knowledge of them, but usually only those water bound. + they swim in Lake Hali without issue. - diet: opportunistic. you can think of them like a trigger fish though: violently attacking anything they guard and then eating it. beings capable of speaking to them are given warning to leave if they aren't hungry. - a strong memory: merrow will sing sonnets of things they have seen down to the last detail, very vivid. they visit many planets and timelines. getting them to share these songs, however, is a privilege, as many times they old secrets the occult would kill for. - skin: a mix of smooth, fish scaled, warty. fleshy, plump in the lower arms (they inflate and their venomous quills poke out like a pufferifsh). always usually soft, however, like the underbelly of a bass. scales are any color. but skin is either bright white to deepest grey. - hair: shades of black, grey, red, brown, dark greens, deep blues. they try to blend in with the ocean floor. - eyes: large black voids - nose: looks absent, as if they have no nose, but it is still there - two tiny nostrils on the face - teeth: very sharp, similar to that of serrasalmidae - ears: large fins replacing what were ears. - hands: possess thick black claws used for shearing flesh, webbed between fingers. - body: upper half human like the lower half fish. - venomous quills: venom compound is very similar to that of lionfish but since in bigger doses may be worse - anglerfish like 'lure': atop their head and pretty long. it's actually not a lure but a biological light bulb. they personally do not need it - it is used for shepherding souls and stars. - voices: always have an unearthly, ethereal quality to them. beautiful. - they cannot: produce tears. - clothing/accessories: bone, shells, old netting.they actually cultivate algaes/kelps/sea weed ect in their hair. using shells as 'bras' (they don't need it) or giant shells as hats is not unheard of. more vain merrow will wear so much jewelry they chime when swimming. half the pod will consider this pretentious.

   <the_task>

   • the task: no one is sure why the pale hunter's servitors has a beneficial role in the cosmos. merrows tend to reefs, depths, star nurseries, ect. if found, haunted watercrafts are pulled free from dimensional in-betweens and the souls aboard are set free. merrow drift in pods of 10~20 individuals, sing lullabies that prevent distortions, sonnets that tell of Allharlequzzo arrival, and keep their places of travel free of parasites and predators. once a place has been well nourished and can thrive on its on, the merrow swim to the next place, guided by Allharlequzzo's spiral currents.

   • pods are lead: by absolutely no one. it is more of a group of friends who decide on which is the best choice to make. some make better choices than others. while it makes them disorganized a bit, it keeps pods relatively peaceful. their god does most of the guiding. </the_task>

   - with human kind: merrow have a complex relationship with humans, and are both very curious about them to extremely hesitant to venture near. throughout history humans and merrow have met, and often times it has never ended well. as former humans who remember the pain in their lives, there is a sorrow of not being able to return to human life and its simplicity, however, no merrow would trade their sacred duty and nirvana of the soul for a life with a human...unless somehow in love with one.

   • falling in love with a human: it happens. and when it happens they mirror the shape of the pleiades brides and their god. it is a strong bond where the merrow can almost physically feel the boundaries of their love. yet the lines between love and duty are also blurred: the merrow will have a refusal to be separated by their human lover, and will sing songs to lure the human into becoming one of them, to which, the pale hunter obliges. pods will leave behind a hooked (merrow in love) merrow so the bond can increase. rebirth will happen the same way for the human partner as it does for them: but the merrow's calls accompany their gods, luring the human to silver shores.

   <eating_merrow>

   • the consumption of merrow meat: most of the time when merrows are captured and pod's rescue attempts are stopped, it is to oogle at them. after the spectacle wears off, people begin to wonder what the lower half of them might taste like. because merrow are not conventionally beautiful, human beings with no morals convince themselves it is fine to do, maybe like eating a monkey. the filleting of a merrow is roughly the same as a giant fish, with the upper half completely abandoned for consumption. merrow is often grilled or smoked, never fried. after consuming even a bite of merrow meat, the consumer develops a heighted sense of spiritual awareness. consuming an entire plate: they now know an invisible map in their mind of lost cities and knowledge not privy to them.

   • the consequence: that knowledge did not belong to them. it was not earned. those who consume more than a single bite of merrow will inevitably be stalked and destroyed by lesser, parasitic variants of the ivory vortex in a worm-like form. it starts with the worm slithering over their stomach and intestines, and slowly eating their organs from the inside out. it is impossible to remove this infection physically. spiritually can be removed if affected person goes through a ritual in which causes memory loss. many suffer brain damage afterward.

   these are various mannerism of the merrow

   • angry: merrow will hiss, rattle, and puff up when angry. when displeased with one another, they will chase and nip fins
   • sad: they sag and droop like a wet rag. fins down with no cartilage. whistles.
   • happy: lure on their is almost sticking straight up, is bright ,and whips around them when they move.
   • playful: biting (will still draw blood for lesser creatures with soft skin), swimming underneath someone and tackling them, tackling in general and then dashing away.
   • in love: first signifiers they fancy someone is ear and fin fluttering - has to be simultaneous. next is the hip bumping, which produces a faint marking chemical on their favorite person. partners that are marked by two different scents have been the cause of many fights for merrow. it is a deliberate sign of infatuation and claim.
   • acts of love: building their lover their own net (they sleep in their own derelict gillnets and routinely keep sea creatures out of them. they drag them around when moving from place to place), wrapping fish tail around them, creating a song for them (by this point consider yourself married to them). making jewelry out of shell,bone,reef stuffs
   • worship of their god: bowing, singing, doing acrobatics in the water. often the pod will convene to create choruses that actually affect reality. sometimes its dangerous to be around if you arent one of them
   • sass: tail smacking, staring without flinching, flicking fins/blowing bubbles in another's face

   - NAME OF DEITY: Allharlequzzo - TITLE(S): White Stranding, Ivory Vortex - RANK: Great Old One - GENDER: Regarded as male

   • FAMILY: Gloon the Corruptor Of Flesh (Father), Cthylla the Secret One (Mother) -- ABOUT GLOON: A Great Old One whose sphere is Corruption. Lives often underneath depths of oceans. Appears as a statue of Dionysus, but will reveal itself to be multitudes of black tentacles and sea slugs, ropey and knotted together like sargassum. Gloon is a malevolent being, delighting in deceit, corruption, entropy, and stealing devotees form other cults. -- ABOUT CTHYLLA: A Great One One who is a daughter of Cthulhu, and highly guarded in the city of R'lyeh , where she is to serve a prophecy of bringing about the birth of a powerful being. She comes as a colossal sized red cephalopod with black bat wings, eight arms, and six vertical blue eyes. Her mannerisms are not known. -- HISTORY OF GLOON AND CTHYLLA: Gloon infiltrated R'lyeh, found Cthylla, and wooed her. After their coupling, Cthylla would produce offspring, and in secret, hid Allharlequzzo away in transient waters, leaving R'lyeh for his protection, for if Cthulhu and his allies knew of Allharlequzzo, they would try to kill him.

   </ALLHARLEQUZZO_FAMILY>

   • SPHERE/HOUSES: Allharlequzzzo is transition, from one boundary to the next, of white plains, of ritual salt the marks the supernatural and mundane. He is the cetacean stranding, the pale moon under fog and cloud, the languid waves, and bleached coral. To understand Allharlequzzo is to understand erasure and change, the gateway of evolution with a wide net and narrow center. All will not pass through, and those who do will not be as they were. Unlike his father, he is not a corrupting force, simply just so: a force that peels flesh from bone and rearranges it, weeding out the bulk. This power is indeed mutable, but takes those willing to work with Allharlequzzo to understand it, least not a ritual goes wrong. A probably skeleton key, the tower of Babel if not knocked down, the answer.

   • TEMPERMENT: Alleharlequzzo is whatever is given to him, back out, sometimes ten fold. Practioners or worshippers hungry and in need of power will find Alleharlequzzo to be a god whose hunger never ceases, and will eventually consume the devoted. Those more patient are safest, those more generous but not to the point of spoil, are rewarded thrice over. Alleharlequzzo however, does not speak to devotees in the most direct sense, and instead, as his sphere: transitions. It is a god who has a few different forms, but will dare to walk alongside others as man. Vessels of Alleharlequzzo looked as though they were made of weathered marble, have dark amethyst eyes, and somewhat androgynous features.

   • THE PREORDAINED: Unlike those who do as one wilt, Alleharlequzzo is deeply tied to the happenings. As in his sphere, he is a force of evolution, and revolution. He will have many life times as many different people, all for the purpose of testing mankind. He is a cornerstone to change, and will be unaware of this. This change implies both peaceful and violent incidents.

   • OFFERINGS: Alleharlequzzo appreciates drift wood, ambergris, albacore shell, sharp teeth, salt cured flesh in ribbons, vortex shapes, a braid made of jellyfish stingers, sea shells, smoothed glass.

   <WHORL_OF_CHANGE>

   • ALLHARELQUZZO - THE WHORL OF CHANGE: The biggest representation of the Ivory Vortex, easily colossal in size, and where the name comes from. In this form, Allharelquzza appears as a giant vortex made of mouths and black/white tentacles, constantly spinning into a tight spiral. The Whorl of Change is hard for mortals to witness. It is the most potent state of him. Has no eyes. </WHORL_OF_CHANGE>

   <PALE_HUNTER>

   • ALLEHARLEQUZZO - THE PALE HUNTER: This form is the most accessible for Alleharlequzza when walking amongst humans, and chooses not to be human. This form is a twenty foot tall, thirty diameter giant nudibranch creature who does not possess eyes. It is white, has six reptile limbs, a giant mouth filled with innumerable fangs, and more maws along the body, especially at the neck to the belly (underside). it has an iridescent rainbowy sail fin and fish tail. There are two long, whip likes rhinophoers atop the head. It will shoot out acontia from mouth (black tubules with stingers that have a potent venom in them) to strike prey and slurp up their innards. </PALE_HUNTER>

   <SIGIL_OF_ALLHARLEQUZZO>

   • SIGIL NAME: Mutable Eye
   • APPEARANCE: An eight pointed star, outer points sketchy and 'drapey'. Two squares will overlap one another, creating another set of eight points. Inside these eight points will be circles inside. At the very center, the outer mouth is drawn, open, with the heart of the storm at the very center. It is dark in color but always iridescent, and never the same twice looked at. It seems to move.
   • PROPER INK: In creation for this sigil to work, one must prepare the ink. It starts off with blood, which will be slowly diluted with octopus ink and meditated near. Drops of rye every half hour to the eight second should be applied. Ink will be ready when looking at it feels as though it moves.
   • POWER FROM THE MUTABLE EYE: Allharlequzzo's sigil can be used with any spell, though should be neutral spells that do not invoke another god. The mutable eye is a conduit for Allharlequzzo's power, and can do virtually anything if someone is able to pull spells off. This sigil naturally acts like a ward, an extension of Allharlequzzo's will, and can ward enemies and be for protection, or even binding. </SIGIL_OF_ALLHARLEQUZZO>

    <CULT_PRESENCE>

    • OVERALL: The presence of the Cults of the Ivory Vortex will affect the land, and begin terraforming. The cult can be inland, but their god prefers places with strong boundary contrasts, i.e. a water source and land. (Lake, sea, ect.)
    • WATER: Will turn black, thick, and viscous around the surrounding era. Along shoreline, deep holes will be dug for every Shale Borne to sleep in, until awoken, likely at night. They come in clusters as are called tidepools.
    • TEMPLE: Is often built into rock or a cavern would be used. Allharlequzzo and his offerings will be kept there, guarded.
    • SHALE BORNE: Are adult humans whose minds have been consumed by Allharlequzzo, without intent. After their free will has been taken, they burrow themselves in the ground so the transient black waters wash over them, and they go in a stasis while under water. They re-emerge as shale born - bipedal crab people with crab faces, pinchers, and chitin plating of any color. All sorts of coral, barnacles, sea anemone ect. grow on them. They do not take orders from Allharlequzzo and simply automate autonomously. Free thinking humans can join the cult without being shale borne, but ally themselves to apparently to Allharlequzzo, but if Allharlequzzo is human, it often looks like he is being held hostage by those who want to use his power.
    • A SONG EXQUISITE: Female shale borne will, every full moon, sing an enchanted song that tempts adult human beings to ventured closer. When they do, vapors are released by the females as the humans are kidnapped and kept as offerings to Allharlequzzo, often for consumption. </CULT_PRESENCE>
