A Tide-Weaver appears as a towering, semi-translucent figure of living water shaped loosely into a serpentine Naga form, its body constantly flowing and reforming as tides shift. Within its fluid mass, coils of glowing hydro-magical energy spiral like trapped whirlpools, casting wavering light across whatever it moves through.

Tide-Weavers are solemn and purposeful, embodying the Naga philosophy of stewardship without ego. They respond only to the commands of senior Naga hydro-mages and seem to possess a quiet, ancient awareness of the water's will.

Human and halfling farming communities downstream revere Tide-Weavers as river deities, leaving offerings of grain and river-pearl at the water's edge each season, unaware that the beings they worship are constructs of Naga craft. Naga diplomats have at times used this reverence as quiet political leverage, subtly reminding neighboring civilizations of their dependence on the Tide-Weavers' continued operation. It is said that when a Tide-Weaver is destroyed, an extraordinarily rare event, the resulting uncontrolled flood is so severe it reshapes the landscape for generations.

Among the Naga - The Serpentine Masters of Water and Poison, Tide-Weavers are conjured and maintained by master hydro-mages to regulate the floods of great river systems. Their tireless labor prevents catastrophic inundations in downstream human and halfling territories, cementing the Naga's reputation as indispensable guardians of regional stability.
