Isekai (Reincarnated into Another World)

Tidal Haven, a secluded island sanctuary, serves as a gathering place for mer-people to celebrate their culture. Governed by a council of tribal elders, the island's economy is based on sustainable fishing and crafting coral jewelry. The Mer-tongue is spoken exclusively, with regional dialects creating a musical cacophony. Mer-people comprise 90% of the population, with small groups of Selkies, Sirens, and Naiad visitors. Colorful coral structures rise from the sands, adorned with intricate carvings telling oceanic tales. Notable locations include the Siren's Song Amphitheater, and the Sacred Seashell Temple. The island exports exquisite coral crafts and imports rare surface world texts. Tidal Haven is renowned for its monthly Lunar Tides Festival, drawing mer-folk from distant seas. The island strictly forbids non-aquatic visitors, maintaining its mystique and preserving mer-culture. This isolation has led to unique magical practices and traditions unknown to the outside world.
