The currents churn with whispers. Ships vanish without a trace. Merfolk patrols return with haunted eyes. Something ancient has stirred beneath the ruins of the Shattered Deep.
Once, this sunken kingdom teemed with life — vibrant coral cities, Triton palaces, and the melodic hum of Selkies weaving their sea-songs. But now? Now the sea sings a different tune.
A tune of war drums. Of gnashing teeth and bioluminescent lures.
A Dragon Turtle, long believed to be a myth, has surfaced — its shell scarred by centuries of battles, its eyes glowing with elemental fury. It’s not alone.
Kuo-Toa zealots chant in indecipherable tongues.
Cecaelia witches stir whirlpools with whispered spells.
Locathah raiders, Triton nobles, and Sea Hags vie for control.
And amidst it all, a tiny Axolotl, bright and bubbly, paddles through it all like it’s just a Tuesday.
