Hameh (concept)
Hameh, the Viridescent Prophet, is the name given to the mystical figure who first taught the Falamai the worship of the Deep Ones. Once a notorious pirate pillaging the Shattered Isles, Hameh was believed drowned after a failed battle at sea with a rival captain. To the surprise of his tribe however, Hameh returned from the ocean depths a changed man — if "man" he could still even be called. For Hameh emerged with his hair crowned with barnacles, his left arm changed into that of a Brittlestar, and his skin clad in the green scales from which his new epithet was taken. Hameh taught his awestruck people of the gods that lived beneath, and instructed them how to perform the rituals needed to appease, and even converse with them. What happened to Hameh afterward, none can now say, but some whisper that the Viridescent Prophet still lives in the deep, waiting with the gods below to emerge at the appointed time.
