Olvânaali lore tells of a sailor by the name of Kâl who hated being wet. He would complain bitterly whenever it rained. This was inconvenient because he spent a good deal of time with his companions in an open boat on the North Sea. Perhaps he did not realize that a good seafarer endures hardships like these in silence. One day, Kâl fell overboard in a storm, and the Immortal Tyvos turned him into a Shuind’or. Whether this was reward or punishment none know.

The legend tells that, to this very day, a medium-sized wave will occasionally wash onto ships from otherwise calm seas: sailors believe that it is Kâl trying to get aboard to get dry.
