Azimuth Tide was born to Meridian Tide, the lone caretaker of the Whalefall Concord, a graveyard of whales which legend claimed to guard an ancient relic somewhere in their midst. Azimuth was raised on these tales, taught to summon Euphory, the spirit of the restful guardians, taught to worship the cycle of life and death, decay and rebirth, until the day her mother left her, her duty complete.
Azimuth continued to tend to the Concord in the nigh-aphotic depths of the Old World until a treasure hunter arrived seeking the legendary relic hidden in the graveyard. Azimuth fought valiantly, but was overtaken- when she awoke, the bodies her family had tended for generations were gone. Euphory advised her to follow the hunter to the New World, where she now finds herself, lost in a world she has never known, searching for something that may not exist at all.
