Origin Sea-wall warden of Taruvai
Marai kept the granite sea walls of Taruvai, and for years they kept Nakrai's ships out. In the famine year she held the harbour shut on the Ministry's order after promising the shoals a grain boat; none came, and Dorgai calls her later defiance a famine too late. When heaven ordered the harbour chained, she raised her barnacled anchor, broke the locks and took the fleet out through the storm along Nakrai's reef channels, picking up the last village Koravai had walled off from the Leviathan. She fights like a sea wall: anchoring runners, lifting the rest on a rising tide, harder the harder she is struck. Her seat is Harbours; the Harbourmaster holds it and chains every port.
Harbours belong to ships and tides, not to gods who keep iron locks upon the sea.

She learned to haul runaway galleys back from the reefs during the treacherous winter tides of Taruvai. Gripping the shank of her chest-high anchor, Marai hurls the barnacled iron through the air with a heave of her shoulders. The fluke snags the enemy champion's waist, and she hauls the chain taut, dragging the stumbling foe toward her and slowing their escape.

Coastal pilots taught her to read the swells that break over the sunken seawalls. Marai shoulders her heavy barnacled anchor and vaults forward atop a surging wave of frothing ocean water. She crashes down in the middle of the enemy formation like a breaching wave, flooding the soil and leaving surrounding foes stumbling in the sucking undercurrent.

She discovered this wall of water when she shattered heaven's iron chains across the harbour mouth. Planting her salt-stained boots wide, Marai swings the barnacled anchor in a brutal horizontal arc. A violent geyser of churning sea-green water erupts around her feet, smashing into nearby foes and hurling them helplessly airborne on the crest of a frothing breaker.

The sea wall taught her that the heaviest gale only packs the granite blocks tighter together. When deep wounds pierce her slate-grey scale plates, the small shells upon her bronze pauldrons begin to weep chilled ocean brine. Her weather-lined skin hardens like stone, shedding incoming physical and magical punishment while the salt water rapidly seals her gashes.

She used this coastal flooding to drown the siege pits of heaven's bailiffs along the shoals. Marai drives the crown of her heavy iron anchor into the turf, releasing the pressure of the deep sea. A pool of churning dark brine and tangled kelp bubbles up beneath the enemy ranks, burning their skin and slowing their retreat through clinging mud.

She witnessed this crushing swell when she led her refugee fleet past the sleeping leviathan's reef. Raising her barnacled anchor high overhead with both hands, Marai summons the fury of the outer shoals. A towering tidal wave of roaring sea-green water explodes around her, smashing the enemy line with terrifying force and flinging everyone caught in the surge into the air.

Appearance
Marai is a tall, heavy-boned woman in her mid forties with weathered brown skin, a broad weather-lined face, sea-grey eyes, a firm mouth and thick grey-streaked black hair braided in a single rope down her back and tied with blue cord. She wears the sea-wall warden's armour of Taruvai: a long coat of overlapping slate-grey scale plates riveted onto sealskin, broad bronze pauldrons crusted with small shells, a sea-blue sash knotted at the hip with a pearl clasp, and heavy salt-stained boots. Her weapon is her barnacled anchor: a two-fluked iron ship's anchor as tall as her chest, black with age and crusted with white barnacles and green weed at the crown, hung on a thick chain that she grips at the shank or swings out at length. She carries it over her right shoulder. Palette: slate grey, sea blue, barnacle white. Silhouette hook: a broad woman shouldering a huge barnacled anchor.
