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.

Room Messaging:

>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 statue of Niima, this time with her father:

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.
