Fair enough. I’m likely too similar to the Folk to really understand why it’s such a bad thing; they are beings of dream and nightmare, beauty and horror, much as I am. Eldritch means elflike, after all.
The rest of the Neath will take heed when I speak, or I’ll know why. The Drowned Man is not a being that zailors take lightly, believe you me. Only madmen and fools Seek, but only madder or more foolish men directly disobey. Take to zee and I will guide you in your dreams, as much as a thing like me can guide.
*He blinks, or at least the candle flames flicker.* Apologies, but . . . it promised, you understand? It promised that all things would be well, and it was entirely wrong.
