Lysianassa

Empress of the Torrent, Benevolent Elemental Lord of Water

For more information on all Elemental Lords, see: Elemental Lords

Lysianassa, Empress of the Torrent, is the Elemental Lord of currents, tides, and water. Before she was trapped, the benevolent lord of water patrolled her plane as a powerful sailfish made of coral and streaked with pearls. In the Age of Creation, when mortals began to use the elements for evil, the good elemental lords began to squabble, for instance, Lysianassa blaming Atreia for enabling arson. In the meantime, Lysianassa's evil rival Kelizandri gathered his fellow evil elemental lords and worked together to defeat and imprison the good ones. When she realized her capture was imminent, Lysianassa preserved the last of her strength within the Breath of Lysianassa, a vial that allowed her nautilus servant Riam the Unyielding to control the Plane of Water's tides. Since Riam's death, the currents of the Plane of Water have begun to slow, and may eventually come to a halt. Few recall the Empress of the Torrent's name, but cults dedicated to an enigmatic figure called the Queen of the Depths have begun to arise, heralding an event they refer to as the Awakening, and some planar scholars believe these cultists seek to free Lysianassa from her prison.
