Merulina
For millennia, a godlike being as old as the cosmos itself floated free across the universe. As the fetid swamps of the Earth’s Cretaceous Period began to recede, this god Merulina crashed into the turbid waters of the expanding Atlantic. Settling into the ocean depths, the deity conjured followers, calling forth the Coralax from the incandescent coral thriving in the warm shallows. Made from coral imbued with Merulina’s divine essence, the first Coralax were Shapers, high priests meant to lead the burgeoning Coralax civilization. (1)
Merulina instructed these Shapers, who were psychically connected to the thoughts and feelings of their god, to construct a beautiful city over its body now deeply embedded in the ocean floor. The brilliant multicolor spires and sweeping arches of the city now radiate a luminous aura from the otherwise blackened depths. This city of coral with a god at its heart is the enchanted capital of the Coralax Empire. (1)
In firm control of their watery domain, the Coralax were suddenly thrust into confusion when the god Merulina fell silent. As the Shapers cast about with no god to guide them, the threats from the surface began. With no god to direct them, the Coralax began building watchtowers just off the Earth’s coastlines in order to maintain a vigilant watch over this growing threat from the surface. (1)
As of today, the goddess Merulina is not present in-game.
It is revealed in Vincent Ross's story arc that Merulina's silence is due to her death. Intrigued by an object crash landing on the mainland, she decided to investigate. She was overcome by a mysterious shadowy figure, and died.
However, it is further revealed that immense power, of the type Merulina wielded, is never lost - only transferred. When Calystix the Shaper summoned forth the Leviathan, the power of Merulina was what truly created and empowered the massive beast (although Calystix did not know the true source of its power).
