I found a story which I like best which tells the story of two mermaid sisters,
one who went to Copenhagen and the other to Warsaw. Swimming across the Baltics,
they arrived into Gdańsk. One made her way to Copenhagen, the other down to Wisła,
bordering the old town.The locals then noticed that strange things were happening to their
catch and swore to catch the troublemaker. Once they saw her they forgot about catching
her. However a greedy merchant caught her in the hopes of making her into a sideshow. A
fisherman hearing her haunting wails and set out to free her. As thanks to the townspeople
who rescued her the Syrenka vowed to protect Warsaw and this is why you see her in battle form :)
The city's motto is aptly called Contemnit procellas - "It defies the storms".
Thank you Chris for this awesome card!
