I never really payed much attention to it when I first played Oblivion years ago. But I was playing it again recently and found myself in Anvil.
I knew this statue of a Mermaid was sort of like a centerpiece there. It's in the northeast corner of the city, and no one talks about it as far as I'm aware. It was just now that it really dug into my head that it was a Mermaid. Yet I never hear about Mermaids...

So, is there lore on Mermaids? What is this?
