Vomala Folklore
Originating from the Nautilus group, a common folktale of the Nauticcan people is that of Vomala. Vomala is a woman who can shape-shift into the form of a kraken; she supposedly lurks at the very bottom of oceans watching all people in all of their acts. The belief is that when you die, if you have upset Vomala by acts throughout your life - also known as having 'bad karma' - she will take you to Vomala's Harbour. You are also taken to it if you died whilst at sea.
Vomala's Harbour is the penultimate resting place, in which one who is trapped there can only leave once they discover the exit; escape is easier for those who have done better throughout their lifetime. If one escapes Vomala's Harbour, this is when their personal beliefs of their final resting place begin in this Nautilus folktale.
