Of all the many merfolk in the world, a stormbrewer is said to be born among them no more than once a century, and two have never met. As the tale goes, its birth heralds an era of tumultuous change for its kingdom—for better or worse. A stormbrewer wields great magical powers over air and lightning, said to be a gift from merfolk gods. Ferocious spells smite merrow, predators, or other would-be invaders to the merfolk's home. Although merfolk rarely leave the shallow seawater of their homes, the stormbrewer's power over flight enables it to traverse air and land easily when the need arises. This alone renders the stormbrewer invaluable to its people — rendering it as effective a diplomat and explorer as it is a battlemage.
