One year ago at Sacred Time, Dessheetan, The Pearl Mother, succumbed to a dream in which she, her islands and her beloved people, are bound in a fisherman's net. After a year of silence, she has finally been able to speak, and has begged the crew of the Wave Skipper to bring her Chelen's Blade, a knife stolen from an Antigod in a previous age, that she might cut herself free. But which wind must they follow to find this relic, and will they ever return to free their beloved goddess?

Dessheetan, The Pearl Mother
When Festanur, the Great Shaman, sought to hunt Lord Vith down, gathered all the spirits of anger, fear and hatred he could find, and made them into a thing called Hakka, that was to become Dogsalu the Terror Dragon, King of the Antigods. The only way to bind these spirits together was with Love, so he quested for, and imprisoned, a Tilntae, a Life Nymph from the Cosmic Court.
After terrorizing the world, when Dogsalu eventually was made to listen to Vith, he freed the Tilntae out of compassion, something new for him. The Tilntae called herself Dessheetan and begged of the goddesses Prosandara and Venperesha a place to live, and creatures to love, to heal herself. She was given a million jewels, and these became her islands and her people.
