Mermaids (Terra Mystica)

Mermaids are a faction in the strategy game Terra Mystica.

Biography
Mermaids are lovely water creatures inhabiting the waters of Terra Mystica and traveling by its rivers. Deceived by their charm, many a landsman has forgotten that the Mermaids preferably would like to transform Terra Mystica into a world of water. Mermaids are able to split their fishtail into two legs and traverse through land; however, they only do so when going to flood it with water, or when they need building materials for their floating cities.

In old tales it is said that the Ice Maidens were once part of the Mermaid faction. They are equally as friendly and lovely, but only cold and frost can make them happy. Ice Maidens love gifts – give them something and they will never let it go, especially since most things will freeze to their hands! This is why you should refrain from shaking an Ice Maiden’s hand despite her seeming to be so friendly.
