I was given the character of Neria by Chris Held at the Legacy of Thought label as he writes stories for all of its artists to set music to as an engagement to create compilation albums. In these adventures the characters are interlinked and this release is an introduction of Neria and how she meet Ariann, the character of Brian Archbold aka Progeny-1. I highly recommend listening to his upload Secrets of the Green Sisters which is part two of this story.

The story goes like this...
In the realm of Toril, amidst the underwater wonders near The Green Sisters, Neria's story unfolded like the undulating currents of a hidden sea. Born into the embrace of this mystical archipelago, her origins were humble but destined for a variety of adventures beneath the waves.

Neria came into the world in a modest underwater grotto, a place surrounded by bioluminescent flora and the gentle hum of aquatic life. The Great Lighthouse of St. Ippen Island, a towering beacon even visible from the depths, watched over her childhood. Her days were spent exploring the vibrant coral reefs, listening to the ancient stories told by the triton elders, and dreaming of the mysteries that lay beyond the light's reach.

Her first taste of the extraordinary came at the age of ten when she ventured into the Whispering Caves, a mystical underwater cavern rumored to be alive with ancient magic. Amongst the phosphorescent flora and ethereal creatures, she discovered an abandoned elven artifact—a talisman that would later become a cherished possession.

As she grew older, curiosity led Neria beyond the familiar waters of The Green Sisters. Her travels took her along the seafloor, where she marveled at the diverse landscapes of the underwater realms and encountered creatures vastly different from her own. These journeys ignited a hunger for knowledge and adventure that would shape her future.

It was during her search for rare pearls in the Gulf of Cordell that fate intervened. In the luminescent glow of coral, casting an otherworldly aura, a figure appeared on the horizon. It was Ariann of Myth Nantar, a seasoned triton whose azure skin and scales reflected the beauty of the ocean depths. Despite her imposing appearance, Ariann swam with a weariness that bespoke a journey both arduous and long.
