[[File:Unda and Rod snes.jpg|right|thumb|The lover's tryst exposed]]
Mermaids are first seen basking on the surface of an colossal conch shell not far from [[Gent]], and will dive into the sea when approached. 
Later on, the {{Party 6}} will discover the secret romance of a mermaid named Unda and a wounded fisherman named Rod in the coastal village of [[Pescado]]. Explaining that his lover rescued him when his ship was destroyed in a massive storm and that the two have kept their love hidden from the people of [[Pescado]] out of fear of Unda's safety, Rod pleads with the party to escort Unda back to her home and states that he cannot bear to see her secreted away in a tidal cave just for his sake.

Once the {{Party 6}} escorts the siren back to her school of kinswomen, her older sister Ova will bestow [[lorelei's Harp]] to the heroes as thanks. Astonished that humans would act so selflessly on Unda's behalf, the mermaids will no longer flee when approached and can be spoken to as normal {{NPC}}s. After the events of [[Cloudsgate Citadel]] are completed Rod can be seen in  on the surface of the mermaid grotto, having made the journey after recovering from his remaining wounds and reuniting with Unda.
