Celestial Tides
A Tidebound Legend
Long before sailors gave them names, they were known only as the Tidebound—the ancient keepers of the sea's forgotten stars. After every great storm, they rise from the depths to gather the lost starlight and return it to the heavens.
One reaches toward the sky.
The other guards the deep.
Together, they keep the balance between the sea below and the stars above.
