The steely-haired, dark-skinned mermanta arrived via the canal system, occasionally submerging himself as he waited for the meeting to begin. He was curious as always, and had begun to grow attached to the drylanders of the coast. They had helped the merfolk and now there was a chance for him to return the favor. When Maeve spoke he listened intently, giving her words careful thought before he raised himself high enough out of the water to be heard clearly.
"The Hale Ka'aila is close to the center of Torchline. From there, the constellation can easily reach cities of both shore and water." He paused, then tilted his head in quiet acknowledgment of the risk. "And if enemies try to destroy it to prevent it from being used, innocent people will not be caught in the violence, as they were in Stormbreak."
There were a great many questions asked all at once, and Hadama's brow furrowed slightly as he considered the other three. "In other lands there are powerful demigods to help them fight. But since there are none here, an offensive constellation could help. I would ask that we choose one that could fight underwater as well as on shore." He looked from Maeve to the others gathered and bowed his head deeply. "And that the activation and ending of it be something that can be used by merfolk as well as shorefolk. Can it be keyed to only respond to citizens of Torchline?"
