Naiads live in and near water. They might be spotted among rivers and
lakes, on isolated shores, or amid coral labyrinths and deep sea
fumaroles. Wherever rivers and seas show their variety and force, naiads
gather to revel in nature's might. Individual naiads often grow fixated
with a single type or body of water, potentially preferring a deep sea
trench, coastline, or river system above all others. Over time, such a
resident nymph often becomes connected with their aquatic home through
sightings and stories, becoming a guardian of the place and, in effect, a
manifestation of its personality.
