Amphitrite

Amphitrite
Amphitrite is one of fifty daughters (the Nereids) of Nereus and Doris (the daughter of Oceanus). Poseidon and Amphitrite were lovers. One of their most well-known children is Triton.

Midway through the Dawn War, Amphitrite had a change of heart, she left the destructive side of chaos and joined the forces of law. She rose through the ranks of the Nawirrûs Covenant becoming a general of operations in the Sea of Mourning. Her song of the deeps, the Amphitrite Hymn, was so strong that it could calm sea creatures and break any mental domination of them by even primordial lords like Poseidon. She became such a problem that Poseidon forged the artifact Buldadel to capture her. He reasoned that this Cairn Scythe weapon would hold her and over time he could bring her back around to helping the primordial cause. Sadly, the weapon was used with malign intent by one of Poseidon's merfolk champions. The killing blow to Amphitrite was supposed to capture her soul energy, but the weapon broke causing her essence to be drawn back into the Elemental Chaos where it dissolved into raw entropic energy. Amphitrite was so highly regarded by her triton army at Fëamanirya, that they had the citadel renamed in her honor.
