The Tideforged Clan

Overview
The Tideforged Clan is a prominent faction of merfolk known for their deep spiritual connection to the ocean and their dedication to preserving sacred sites beyond the archipelago, including the Shimmering Shoals. They believe they are the rightful guardians of these mystical areas, and they draw strength and purpose from the ancient sea deity, Thalora. The Clan is committed to maintaining balance within the seas and honoring traditions passed down from their ancestors.

Goals
The Tideforged Clan aims to protect sacred sites, preserve merfolk culture and traditions, and ensure that magical places remain undisturbed by outsiders. They see themselves as the environmental stewards of the Free Sea, working to protect the natural world while encouraging harmony within the Coral Council.

Alliances & Tensions
The Tideforged Clan supports the Coral Council, often taking a leading role in decisions regarding environmental protection. However, they frequently clash with pirate factions like the Stormfang Reavers, who sometimes disrupt protected waters, and with the sahuagin Deepcrest Legion, who challenge their control over underwater territories.
