Dekella

Dekella, also known as the Bident of Thassa, is a legendary magical artifact originally owned by Thassa, the God of the Sea on Theros.
==Description==
Dekella is a bident, a two-pronged spear resembling a pitchfork, formed from Nyx. When carried outside Theros, it resembles dried coral. It is longer than a merfolk in height and weighs very little. It greatly increases the ability of its wielder to manipulate the sea and the creatures residing within. One can use it to control tides and stir the seas into whirlpools.(2013). Theros Player's Guide. Wizards of the Coast.
==History==
Dekella was created by Purphoros and used by Thassa on Theros. According to Theran legend, a mortal sailor once stole the bident and used it to destroy an enemy fleet. In response, Thassa punished him by turning his family into eels. Later, a scholar named Solon attempted the same feat but was rejected by the goddess.
In 4559 AR, the planeswalker Kiora traveled to Theros in search of allies against the eldrazi on her homeplane of Zendikar. Claiming to be the mythical mariner Callaphe, she was thought by the plane's tritons to be the goddess Thassa herself, freed from the Silence of the Gods. Attempting to take the allegiance of the massive kraken Arixmethes, she was confronted by the goddess. After a fight involving many sea monsters both native and summoned by Kiora the planeswalker escaped with the bident. Thassa claimed to have struck down the impostor, shattering the bident, and was gifted a replacement by Purphoros.Wizards RPG Team (July 21, 2020). D&D Mythic Odysseys of Theros.

During the Battle for Zendikar, Kozilek awoke and greatly wounded Kiora. Jori En found the wounded Kiora amidst a mass of dead sea creatures. After battling Kozilek's brood and goblin dark-dwellers together, they retrieved the bident.
Later, during the War of the Spark, the trapped planeswalkers including Kiora met with Ravnican leaders to strategize. Dack Fayden managed to touch Dekella, hoping to copy the divine artifact's powers with his psychometric ability. She caught him, and he appeared to regret his decision.
