Symbology
History
Maeriliala Today
Wvelkim is the king of Maeriliala — nation whose communities are scattered throughout the world. Most Aquarian citizens live a simple lifestyle that has changed little over the centuries, but every Maeril may travel to the capital city (Neriisiliala) and petition their king for a redress of grievances. Some Maeril communities are beginning to modernize, making use of technomagic to construct beautiful, elaborate cities beneath the ocean surface — but this new way of life has yet to reach the majority of the population. Wvelkim uses his position to ensure that the oceans are protected from exploitation by the surface dwellers; any commercial fishing, oil drilling, or other invasive activity must be approved by the Sea King, and he reserves the right to revoke this permission if it is abused. Many surface-dweller nations and megacorps resent the Maeril's strict regulation the marine habitat, but Wvelkim has Kyia's backing — any attack on the Maeril is considered an act of war against the Empire itself. In the last 150 years or so, no one has been brave (or foolish) enough to challenge this.
