Magmic Blooms

Magmic blooms - so named due to the algae’s strange red glow produced by bioluminescence - are a rare source of food for the The Sundered Clans, but all the more valuable when they are available. The algae are carried around the Scalding Sea on the currents in huge groups known as blooms and are one of the few consistent sources of food for the creatures living there. As such they are often followed around by Silverfin shoals and other herbivorous creatures. When these strange phenomena drift near to the shore they are pounced upon by the tribes, hundreds rush out of their homes, wooden and bone carved bowls in hand to collect the algae.
