Throughout history, when merfolk have been seen by humans there were attempts to capture us with nets and harpoons. But in recent decades, humans have seemed much more interested in learning about and exploring the sea. We have even begun to see humans swimming in various oceans around the world wearing what appear to be mermaid tails. This has led us to believe that, despite our best efforts at remaining secret, not only do landfolk know of our existence, but you seem to be friendly toward us. Thus we have recently held a MerCouncil and, after much debate, decided it is finally time to officially reveal ourselves to the human world. We believe that Humans and MerFolk may begin to work together to keep both the oceans and the land healthy and vibrant for all to enjoy. Some Mermaids of the Seven Seas have been chosen to represent their sea aerias and be ambassadors to the human world. You are invited to meet them. Respectfully Yours, The Royal MerCouncil The year 2015
