Pearls that come from the tears of Mermaids are valuable, especially on Tera Island. There is no higher price in the Tera House than Mermaid pearls.
For humans, perhaps the pearl only serves as jewelry, be it on their clothes or on their bodies, as a wedding dowry or a precious treasure to be kept.
But to immortals, a mermaid's tears are like water in the middle of a barren desert. Pure pearls could help increase the power of immortals quickly, like magic items that make everything feel instantaneous.
It didn't take long for pearls to become the prima donna on Tera Island.
There are many mermaids caught around Tera Island. They are forced to cry out pearls from their tears, but no one has ever been able to produce pure pearls. Instead, black pearls have the opposite effect.
One of the reasons is that the mermaids they catch are filled with sadness and despair. The pearls produced are far from pure and black.
