* The Celestial Ocean is an AlternateTimeline representing the world as it will be [[AfterTheEnd after the Deluge]]. To put it plainly, it's an aquatic, post-apocalyptic wasteland containing a representation of ''all'' the potential apocalyptic events that could lead to the Deluge at the same time... and it will continue to exist as long as there is even 1% of chance the Deluge might happen. And it's not an '''empty''' wasteland, by the way; it's inhabited by Survivors and Therons, humans and animals (respectivley) that have been heavily mutated for survival in their new environment and sometimes by something tied to a specific cataclysm (see below)... and it's also home to the Vodianoi, malevolent creatures that are aligned with Echidna (again, see below).

* Sort of combining with the above, there's also the factor of Trace. While it can be used to look into events and problems that may cause the Deluge, it can also be easily used to spy on people. Just imagine it. [[BigBrotherIsWatchingYou Your private life could be known to a Siren who is interested enough.]] Combined with the {{Yandere}} tendencies above, it's not hard to picture a Siren using this to virtually deprive a Relationship of any privacy.

Worse, Sirens can manifest Verses through the Trace, meaning that a Siren can use her magic to attack, mind-control, or otherwise influence someone without ever having to come near them, and without their target having any way to strike back.

*** In '''The Scorched Earth''', on the other hand, the [[KnightTemplar Queen of Storms]] managed to comprehensively annihilate the the Darkness — and ''the entire world'' in the process. The incomprehensibly severe nature of this second Deluge is hauntingly embodied by its Celestial Ocean: whereas in all other Deluge variants it is flooded over with corrupted water, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness this scenario]] has it ''[[SaltTheEarth completely bone-dry]]''. That being said this may arguably be an '''improvement''' over the older cataclysm scenario that it replaced...
*** In '''The Searing Light''', the Light not only managed to destroy the Darkness, but has now gone full KnightTemplar and illuminates the entire world, destroying anything remotely dark or evil, to the point people constantly try their best to act friendly and pleasant ''[[CrapsaccharineWorld because they are utterly terrorized at the idea they might be judged and obliterated]]''.

** ''TabletopGame/LeviathanTheTempest'' actually appears either the least bad or the most horrific. Titled '''The Primordial World''', the world has been fully flooded to the point that the mountains have been submerged, and the ocean is filled with hybrids and Leviathans whose cultures are constantly changing or being replaced in bloody conflicts. Some of these Leviathans are even as huge as nations! But that's not the worst part. The worst part is that most of the Leviathans present are ''fully aware'' that they're in a possible future, and see absolutely nothing wrong with making Sirens into servants to ensure it happens.

* Even if Sirens are trying (for the most part) to do good and supposed to prevent the end of the world, they still are scary of their own when you realize their primary method to fuel their power is to ''drain your soul'' through a KissOfDeath. Sure, it's technically possible for them to not inflict durable damages to you when doing so, but when they don't show restraint, the results can be pretty devastating, from leaving you catatonic and unable to live on your own to flat-out killing you and devouring your soul entirely until nothing remains.

* There's also the factor of how well Sirens get along with their Relationships. Normally, Relationships grant a Siren a good amount of support and love that helps replenish her Pneuma and keep up her Stability...and yet at the same time a Siren is naturally inclined to be {{Yandere}} for them and can do some pretty horrible things for their sake. There's also the factor that, should they lose the Relationship, the Siren can react in one of three ways.
** The first is to get a new one, which is the least horrible.
** The second is to heal the wound in her heart by cauterizing it and [[IfICantHaveYou her old relationship]] with deathly measures.
** The third is simply trying to win their relationship back, which sounds all well and good...save that a Siren can also force their Relationship to go back to them with the Social Manuevering System's Hard Leverage and Forcing Doors. For those not versed in the Chronicles of Darkness, what this means is a Siren can intimidate, threaten or harm the Relationship until they agree to take her back.

* On another note, the sidebar beneath Relationships that talks about UsefulNotes/{{Abuse}}. While being just a game, it notes how some of the things that can help a Siren when it comes to a Relationship and keeping her Stability are morally or lawfully wrong and using abuse is both wrong and a crime. It also takes the time to give a link to said notes on Abuse in this paragraph, urging people who are suffering it to go there. Despite the Gameline taking place in a darker version of reality, it gives a feeling of OOCIsSeriousBusiness to remind that not only is abuse wrong, but it's real too.

** Cocytus - The Abyssal Current of Dark Secrets do not have any ethics when it comes to their search for knowledge.
