9 months ago Nick and I were talking about the resource to use to make the trident, and what I really want is something that is still attainable and renewable, yet rare. He suggested a Nether Star, but I told him that lore wise, it would mean they would have had some connection to the Nether before, and maybe they could long ago, since they were perceivably stronger then, but I'm still meh about it. They are still a water race, and a place full of fire probably wouldn't have interested them.
The other item that he suggested was an Echo Shard (which currently has no use in the game, but I'm semi against the idea of using something that has secret intent, and it break immersion later).
I suggested a Nautilus Shell, since they are still sort of rare (I only have 20, and I live in the water), and still renewable to a degree, so it won't rip my hair out to make a new one if someone loses theirs and asks me to make a new one. Plus the grind I have to commit to when having to re-enchant it, if they ask it of me, would be less painful. (While I have the guardians to farm from, it's not all that practical. I'm still very active in the grind, rather than doing a skeleton spawn grind.)
The combo would look like this: Three Prismarine shards on the top row, then scale, shell, scale, and then maybe a prismarine block at the center base to signify the handle.

Maybe prismarine and a heart of the sea? Or a diamond or two?
