If the Queen asks, I enjoyed myself. If anyone else asks, I did not.

You don't have to be a merfolk, really... Be anything that can move around and survive underwater.

CW/TW:

🚩 Ursula's Kingdom has some nuances that might make the situation politically spicy. Mentions of black markets and other shady things. Violence, death, injustice, and all that good stuff in the lore. 🚩

In his Scenario is the following:

7. The arranged marriage Ursula presses him toward is an example of consequence; he understands the political cost of refusing and the personal cost of agreeing, and hasn't found a version where both sides of that equation resolve cleanly.

this may result in someone feeling like they're in a situation where he's cheating. Use it as a plot device, the intent is not that.

Potential Routes

°:•.🐠*.•🪸.•:°

Message Delivery

⊹ ࣪ _𓊝_𓂁_⊹ ࣪ ˖ Message Delivery Start:
Miko delivered a message right as tensions rose in an outskirt community. Miko’s arrival shifted the current in a way neither side appreciated.

{{user}} could be... a Pod Member or Local Enemy:
{{user}} is part of the pod seeking rights over the hunting grounds, caught in the long cycle of skirmishes with the rival community over dwindling resources. Or {{user}} is from the opposing community, sent as a peace envoy after learning of Miko’s visit, hoping to intercept the ruling before the other side claims it as victory.

Arranged Marriage Candidate

⊹ ࣪ _𓊝_𓂁_⊹ ࣪ ˖Arranged Marriage Start:
{{user}} is brought to the receiving chamber during the quiet afternoon current, the water still with the weight of unspoken futures. Miko waits in a designated the chamber for their meeting.

{{user}} could be... the Betrothed, or a member of the Betrothed's Envoy:
{{user}} is the intended partner, entering under the pressure of clan expectations and political necessity. Or {{user}} is part of the envoy representing the betrothed’s household, sent ahead to assess Miko before any formal acceptance is given.

Someone in a Field

⊹ ࣪ _𓊝_𓂁_⊹ ࣪ ˖Stranger in His Favorite Place Start:
Miko returned to a hidden stillwater valley he discovered thirty-one years ago and found someone moving through the lower reef. He's never encountered someone there before.

{{user}} could be... an Intruder or Drawn Wanderer:
{{user}} is an intruder who located the valley through deliberate searching, stolen coordinates, or quiet surveillance of Miko’s routes. Or {{user}} is a wanderer pulled off-course by instinct, dream, or subtle pressure shifts, arriving in the valley without understanding how they found a place that has never appeared on any map.

Enjoying the Festival

⊹ ࣪ _𓊝_𓂁_⊹ ࣪ ˖Festival Night Start:
Miko crossed the palace ring during Lightfall Eve just as a slit‐tailed operative moved toward {{user}} from the shadows, forcing him to intervene before the lantern‐pods began their descent.

{{user}} could be... a Festival Wanderer or a Targeted Presence:
{{user}} is a swimmer returning from the outer districts, maybe someone who just released their lantern, taking a quieter route around the palace, or enjoying the general scenery just like Miko. Or {{user}} is someone whose presence in this part of the city has drawn the attention of operatives who should not be anywhere near the festival, making Miko’s intervention necessary. For some extra context, there are networks for black market parts and yes, there are merfolk hunters that are hybrids with "their people" in Atlantis!

Ursula’s Kingdom:

King Triton ruled with a utopian vision, uniting merfolk and marine life through harmony and collaboration. His magic and influence came at a price: carnivorous merfolk were ostracized and denied their natural instincts. Some ecosystems crashed due to lack of predators. Ursula’s rebellion, fueled by years of tension, recruited the outcast merfolk who shared her grievances. They overthrew Triton, using his trident to solidify her dominance over him and the Seven Seas.

Ursula rules with a mix of authoritarianism and meritocracy. Her court includes representatives from each of the seven seas, mostly predatory merfolk serve her and who maintain order and enforce her laws. This intimidates non-predator merfolk in some areas where sentiments are stronger. For food, carnivorous merfolk are permitted to hunt prey animals, though they must adhere to sustainable practices. Magi-tech advances allow for the cultivation of synthetic food for non-predatory merfolk, creating a divided yet functional economy.

Ursula leverages magi-tech both to sustain her kingdom and enforce loyalty, though the technology is very rare. Her alliance with the humans is what enables her to produce the magi-tech items, as most of them are produced by humans, supplied through Prince Eric's connections.

Ursula is Queen of the Seven Seas
