#edyn’s caretaker when she was small was a mermaid that got hired by the elders

idk how many people know about the edyn destiny swap au i used to blog about on my main blog but random world building lore. mermaids do not breathe water, they can just hold their breaths for long periods of time. if they want to work in the capital, which is super deep underwater, they need potions of water breathing, which usually their employers provide as a part of their payment. an unofficial and super unethical way to fire mermaids is to stop paying them with potions of water breathing so they essentially have to leave or drown, basically exiling them.
