Brinlin Cove

The secret is out. Marim has uncovered Cynnes Tarth's hidden heart and discovered an entire race of magical people who have been in hiding from the world since the Fall. She's also awoken the old, old magic in the mountain.

As a delegation of Tessilari from Masidon sets sail, intent on establishing contact with the long-hidden Brinlocks, a storm begins to gather and move towards the island. It's a storm of fury and magic and consequences.

As two ancient, magical peoples meet again for the first time in centuries, Marim must face the consequences of all her poking around. The storm that's coming won't pass on its own.

The aquatic variant of the bydus volkus family is called: brinlin. Tiny, water dwelling, and sensitive to cold, brinlins are characterized by a smooth, two-toned hide, an open temperament, and frequent vocalizations. A human who bonds a brinlin can attain (with proper study) a total mastery of passive spellwork.
