🌊 Under the Current — The Realm’s Most Questionable News Source
Not every story in the Realm makes the headlines.
Some sink.
Some swirl.
Some become legendary gossip whispered through coral reefs and enchanted forests alike.
That’s where Under the Current comes in.
Hosted by three extremely dedicated — and occasionally chaotic — aquatic journalists, Under the Current brings breaking news, scandal, prophecy, and mild aquatic judgment to every corner of the Realm.
From satyr rock tours and mermaid breakups to mysterious prophecies and forest drama, nothing escapes their broadcast.
Their motto says it all:
“Stay Current. Dive Deeper.”
And trust us.
They always do.

🎙 Dazzlefin — The Face of the News
Dazzlefin is the handsome, camera-loving anchor of Under the Current.
With shimmering scales and the confidence of someone who knows the camera absolutely adores him, Dazzlefin delivers the Realm’s biggest stories with perfect timing and dramatic pauses.
He takes journalism seriously.
Very seriously.
Which is why he always begins with:
“Good evening, Realmfolk.”
Even when the story involves satyrs, mermaids, or magical disasters.
Known for:
✨ Being the most photogenic fish in the ocean
🎙 Delivering breaking news with dramatic flair
🐠 Maintaining perfect anchor posture while swimming
📺 Looking directly into the camera like he knows something you don’t
📋 Marigill — Executive Producer
Every news team needs someone keeping things organized.
Marigill believes that someone is her.
She is the sharp, no-nonsense executive producer who makes sure the broadcast actually happens.
While Dazzlefin is busy being charming and Wally is experimenting with something that probably shouldn’t be plugged into coral, Marigill runs the show with absolute authority.
Known for:
📋 Running the newsroom like a perfectly timed tide
📣 Correcting everyone’s timing mid-broadcast
👀 Giving Wally the look whenever experiments start bubbling
🎬 Making sure the cameras never stop rolling
🌦 Wally — Weather and Science
Wally is the team’s resident weather forecaster, scientist, and accidental inventor.
He is brilliant.
He is curious.
And occasionally he swims upside down because of one very ambitious experiment involving currents and magnetized plankton.
No one is entirely sure what happened.
Wally insists it was “mostly successful.”
Known for:
⚗️ Conducting marine science experiments on-air
🌦 Predicting storms, currents, and mysterious magical disturbances
🔬 Accidentally discovering things that were not meant to be discovered
🐠 Occasionally broadcasting upside down
🌊 What They Cover

🌊 The breakup of Thalos and Asiren during the Come Closer Tour
🎸 The release of Thalos’s devastating ballad Ashes of Us
🌳 Morrowood’s latest prophecy (which was suspiciously accurate)
