Niima

Niima was a daughter of Charl and another arkati, and was a Lesser Spirit.

Despite being an arkati, herself, Niima was a lesser spirit who devoted herself to saving shipwrecked sailors. She acted as a moderator on her father's anger, as well as his conscience. She was a popular subject for figureheads on ships, as well as pirate and sailor songs.

Her symbol was a silver or grey dolphin on a field of blue. She has a temple dedicated to her in Solhaven and a shrine nearby to River's Rest, in Oteska's Marsh.

Shrines, Statuary, and Holy Places

Solhaven Cleric Guild

Located through a tunnel near the entrance of the Solhaven's Cleric Guild is a shrine dedicated to Niima.

A carved Niima statue:

Carved from the surrounding rock walls, the statue depicts Niima rising from the roiling, arcing waves of the sea, her lower half submerged. The pale blue stone that makes up the spritely girl's face is immaculately smooth, and the nymphish smile rendered upon her lips speaks of her playful nature. Perfectly round mermaid's-tear sapphires serve for the beautiful girl's eyes, each gently flickering in the light of the chamber like the ocean's undulating currents.

>get breadcrumbs
You pick up a small handful of the breadcrumbs, and gently sprinkle some on the surface of the water. The fish inside swiftly swim to the surface and eagerly start to munch on the plentiful bounty, the pool flashing with color as they excitedly dart about looking for more breadcrumbs.
Roundtime: 20 secs.

An old priest wanders by, and picks up a few bread crumbs from the ledges housing the candles. He bows slowly to the statue and then scatters a few of the crumbs on the surface of the pool. The fish swimming within eagerly head up toward the surface for a bite. The old man smiles and puts the remaining crumbs back on the ledge, then shuffles off.

The flickering candles brighten for a moment, causing reflections of the waters faintly rippling surface to play upon the walls briefly.

The soft trickling sounds from the water upon the walls rises in volume, the soft sounds causing playful echoes to rebound about the chamber for several moments after they fade.

Just through the entranceway of the Solhaven Cleric Guild is another pair of granite statues depicting Niima and Charl together. It is not considered a holy place.

Torches held in polished steel rings illuminate the area, shedding cheerful light over the two statues in the center of the room. Carved from solid granite, a teenaged girl with a mischievous grin rests her hand on the arm of a bearded man with a fish's tail. They stand on a sea-blue pedestal with words carved into the surface.

Charl towers over the room, wielding a massive coral-inset trident. Instead of his usual angry expression, however, he wears a softer expression as he looks over his shoulder at his grinning daughter. Her hand rests on his arm, as if attempting to curb his temper.

The pedestal beneath the statues reads, "In the ebb and flow of our prayers comes hope as well as despair."

A third statue of Niima was located in one of the Prayer Rooms in the Solhaven Cleric Guild. It was considered a holy shrine.

This spritely woman-child appears as lithe and muscular as a frog. Her short hair is mussed, framing a grinning, flirtatious face. The base of the statue is carved to resemble breaking surf. Niima's hand trails in the water, although it is difficult to tell if she is about to swim away or splash water in your direction. In the waves at Niima's side is a small dolphin.

Wehnimer's Landing Cleric Guild

Located in the Antechamber of Others is a statue of Niima. This area is not considered a holy shrine.

Here, a spritely young female in her mid-teens is skillfully portrayed. Pale of skin, with blonde hair and lambent blue eyes, she wears a blue-green gown that clings to her slender body. Her symbol is a silver dolphin on a field of blue.
