"You're still alive. That's fine." ― Myrtle to Marcid the Typhoon

"Do you have a problem with the way I serve my god? Because I can drag you down to meet her." ― Myrtle

Myrtle is a resident of Leviathan and priestess of Umberlee who sells artifacts salvaged from shipwrecks. She is played by Aabria Iyengar.

Description

"Myrtle is hovering in the back of this temple. She moves slowly and catches just a little bit of the blue brazier light. And you see this like dark teal green that flashes with like silvery blue scales and the top half of her is fairly humanoid with these long beta fish like fins. Sort of creating this big crown and like long tendrils coming off of her elbows. And then the bottom half of her extends into this long almost eel-like bottom and she's 12 feet from top to tip. And she sort of glides around and wraps herself around her treasures. And as she kind of slink, slinks away from the brazier light, you can just see two little pinpricks of like golden light from the center of her pupils." ― Aabria Iyengar

History

A Heaping Helping of Trouble

Myrtle finds a shipwreck earlier that day, but doesn't get a chance to go through it before being visited by Marcid the Typhoon, Langley Sheffield-Harrington and two guards. Myrtle listens to Langley and, for a price, is persuaded to allow his men to look through her wreckage. Surprised by the sum put forth by Langley, Myrtle magically identifies it as a powerful artifact that can create storms. She almost backpedals, but Marcid offers to help her steal it back.
