''Moryana'', according to Russian (Slav) Mythos - was a ''Sea Spirit'' akin to The ''Siren'' (and others) - found mostly along with Seafaring. For Centuries, Moryana was thought to be a ''beautiful woman'' and somewhat ''driven'' in Her sinking of ships and drowning of sailors. Able to manipulate the wind and water, via storms, Ancient Mariners determined Moryana was the culprit for shipwrecks. Moryana was not just regulated to The Ocean, and her wrath was also found on rivers and lakes (especially along Russia'a Volga River). The exact cause of Her displeasure with sailors and ships is unknown, but some attribute it to a lost sailor lover who drowned. After Her death (of sadness), Moryana returned as quite possibly an ''Elemental Spirit'' to inact Her revenge against ALL Mariners.
