She who is named Llymlaen shall preside over the seas. Her duty: to administer the tides, and inspire men to come together as one and seek new horizons.



WHO IS SHE? According to the most well-known creation myth, Llymlaen is the daughter of Azeyma and Thaliak, the sister of Nophica, and the granddaughter of Nymeia. She created the great serpets Perykos and Thalaos, from whom the seas of the Hydaelyn flowed. These serpents were then sealed in an island that She enchanted so no one could find them and use them for evil. She assumes the guise of a blue-footed booby when interacting with mortalkind, as, like the rest of the Twelve, Her true form can only be seen in the Phantom Realm.

Her symbol is that of the ocean waves. She is often depicted as a strong fisherwoman who has a trident or harpoon. In Aleport, there is a statue depicting Her as a mermaid, though, according to a 2015 lore broadcast, "the sculptor who carved the statue probably chose the mermaid design to make the statue resonate more with the sailors and fisherfolk who worship the goddess."

She has two canonized saints.
Saint Dhyata
Her plate is Pietie (Piety).

Saint Dhyata and the Lake of Plenty

Year after year, the brass loaches in the lake grew fewer and fewer in number. When the wise woman Dhyata came at the request of troubled fishermen, she needed but one glance at their catch to discern the source of their woes—in their nets wriggled not only the grown loaches but also the young and egg-swollen females as well. After lecturing her audience on the gods' miracle of life, the sage snapped a branch to a certain length to show the size of fish they should keep, and forbade them from casting nets during the spawning season. The fishermen obediently followed her instructions, and within a few short summers the surface of the lake fairly churned with feeding loaches, so complete was their recovery. Revered for her lessons on life's sanctity, the pious Dhyata was raised up as a saint blessed by Llymlaen.

Saint Ascya
Her plate is Temperans (Temperance).

Saint Ascya's Mead

The Astalicia drifted on the empty sea, her rudder shattered by a sea serpent's tail. Not a shadow of land could be seen on the sun-flooded horizon, and even the crew's veterans were gripped by tendrils of despair. The captain put on a brave face, but it was only Ascya, the cook's apprentice, whose calm was unfeigned. After hearing the ship's navigator estimate three weeks until the current washed them up on the nearest shore, she drafted a plan to conserve their remaining rations. The sailors cajoled and threatened. The captain shouted orders. But she refused to dole out more food than was scheduled, never leaving her vigil beside the mean barrel. Praised for rescuing her entire crew with her temperance, Ascya was raised up as a saint blessed by Llymlaen.

HER SONGS
Songs that invoke Her in some way, whether that be through name, or that She simply likes to communicate through.

Unravel 2 OST
One of the earliest times I started to truly understand shufflemancy and communion through music was when calling upon Her and consistently getting songs from the Unravel 2 OST. I absolutely consider this to be Her favorite and preferred method of communicating. If a song from this OST shuffles, I can be sure She's reaching out.



Be calm as the ocean, and you shall weather any storm.
Thaleia

Smooth sailing so far, I see. Come, then, mortals!

Have you got the stones to face the Navigator?

Come on, don't keep me waiting!

Let me prepare a suitable stage for our union!

I'll teach you the ways of navigation!

Mine are the waves and the winds!

Can you contend with she who rules the tides?

My trident parts the very seas!

You must make an ally of the wind!

Rise above the whitecaps!

You don't disappoint!

Like the stormy seas, I'm a harsh mistress!

Brace for the storm!

I trust you don't mind if they play too.

Come, Perykos! Thalaos! Join us in the excitement!

Dance upon the waves!

That's the way, my clever serpents!

Feel the might of the Navigator!

Go on, my pets! Don't be shy!

Boundless as the ocean!

You can surely do better than that.

You're bloody brilliant, you are!

To seek new horizons, you must come together as one. It falls to you and yours to navigate the seas ahead.

The Heart of the Myth

Ahhh, I've waited so bloody long for this moment!

Oh, leave off, Thaliak! You can't tell me you're not as excited as I am!

I know the ones who are mine, and I know you, too.

Be calm as the ocean, and you shall weather any storm.

Follow your heart, as you ever have.
