Creatures of the Deep: Lorelei, the Drowning Song
The Queen of the Sirens has risen. One in the whole world at a time, announced to everyone, built for a crew — and she leaves Siren's Tear Shards for all who help bring her down. Her Tears make Siren Metal, which silences monsters.

New Features
- ✦Lorelei, the Drowning Song: a world boss. Only one in the world at a time, out at sea near a coast, always at least Epic strength — bring a crew. Everyone gets a pop-up and a System chat line when and where she rises. If nobody brings her down she sinks after 4 hours. There's no fixed timer for her return: the more players are online, the sooner she comes back, and she rises near where players are — so every part of the world gets its turn. System chat warns when the sea grows restless.
- ✦Her Royal Song Enthralls everyone within 200 m every 15 seconds (Wax Earplugs block it). Three Tide Wardens guard her and come for whoever attacks her.
- ✦The Soul Feast: every 30 seconds two Drowned Souls rise and drift toward her. Each one that reaches her — and each player who dies near her — heals her 10% and feeds her. Fed 3 times, she shows her True Form: attack x1.5, her song every 6 seconds, fallen Wardens rise again, and no more souls come.
- ✦Fair loot for the whole crew: her EXP and Gold are shared by damage like any kill, and she leaves 12 Siren's Tear Shards (up to 20 when many helped), split by how much each hunter helped — damage to her and her court, and every soul you stop counts big. At least 5% of the effort earns one Shard or more and the Song Breaker Badge.
- ✦Siren's Tear: craft 6 Shards into one Tear. Shards can be traded, so a crew can pool them.
- ✦Siren Metal (Metallurgy Level 3: 1 Siren's Tear + 2 Pearl + 1 Iron; infusing takes 3 bars) — a sea-blue Metal that silences, never stuns. Weapon, Hush: 20% on a hit to Hush the monster for 6 seconds — it calls no pack and uses no abilities (no song, no explosion, no summons, no slide), though it still fights — and its defense drops by 2 for 30 seconds. Armor or Shield, Echo: 15% when hit to Hush the attacker for 4 seconds and drop its attack by 2 for 30 seconds. Half the chance against bosses and Tide Wardens, 5% against Lorelei herself.
- ✦World boss pop-ups can be turned off in Settings → Pop-up notifications → World bosses (the System chat line stays).
Balance Changes
- ⚖More sea monsters out on open water: Tidekin, Brineclaw, Burstsquid and Blighted Tidekin packs now live in many more places, and Sirens are twice as common. A Buoy trail far from shore should no longer feel empty.
