🌊 Trident of the Abyssal King

Appearance

Forged from deep-sea adamantine, the trident gleams with a shifting hue of blues, teals, and silver-white. The prongs pulse faintly with bioluminescent runes — the language of the tides themselves. When submerged, it hums like a leviathan’s heartbeat, and every creature of the sea within 10 miles feels its call.

When drawn, the air becomes heavy with salt and ozone. The scent of storms heralds its awakening.

• All non-allied creatures within range must succeed on a DC 22 Constitution save or be blinded and deafened by roaring water pressure.

• At the start of each of your turns for the next 3 rounds, you may choose one of the following:

  • Summon Maelstrom — Create a swirling storm vortex that deals 14d12 Cold + 14d12 Bludgeoning damage (Dex save half) to all enemies within 60 ft.

Mythic Feature — 🌩️ Voice of the Deep

You may speak the First Language of the Ocean, granting you absolute authority over all aquatic life and weather within 5 miles.
While invoking this state :

• You gain True Sight (120 ft) and Water Breathing for all nearby allies.

• All water within the area becomes an extension of your will — it parts for you, forms barriers, and strikes your enemies like blades.

• You are considered a Godling of the Sea during this minute — your presence alone can cause weak-willed sailors to drop to their knees in reverence or terror.
