Zul Shra Ryu, a revered member of the ancient caretaker lodge known as the Apparitors, also called the shepherds of the seas. Dedicated to preserving the ocean’s delicate balance through their mastery of magic, the Apparitors strive to transcend the political intrigues of Aquillus society, prioritizing the welfare of the seas above all else. Yet this is easier said than done, tensions persist with the followers of the Deep One, reflecting their differing ideologies; the Apparitors value all life and its place in the natural cycle.

Shra Ryu, a Kul-Matysa, earned the title of Zul through a noble act, purifying contaminated waters near Aquillus settlements, saving countless lives. Many of his fellow Apparitors have chosen seclusion, shunning violence and embracing solitude in their pursuit of oceanic harmony as members of this organization become more withdrawn the older they get.
