The Everdepth

The Everdepth is a narrow ocean that stretches across the eastern coast of the Artorian Empire. Its depths are unknown in many areas, and its mysteries have puzzled sailors and adventurers for generations. The ocean's name comes from the belief that certain regions of the Everdepth are so deep that they have yet to be explored by any living being, including the Tritons.

According to the devotees of the goddess of the sea, the Everdepth was created by Thassa, who used her powers to carve out the ocean and fill it with creatures of her own creation. Some believe that the ocean is home to ancient sea monsters that have lived in its depths since the beginning of time, while others believe that it is the source of great riches waiting to be discovered.

Over the centuries, many brave sailors have attempted to explore the bottom of the Everdepth, but few have returned to tell their tales. Some ships have been lost in mysterious storms that seem to rise out of nowhere, while others have been attacked by sea monsters or swallowed up by giant whirlpools.

Despite the dangers, the Everdepth remains a popular destination for adventurers and treasure hunters. Some believe that the ocean holds the key to uncovering lost treasures, ancient artifacts, and magical powers. The city of Ahvaz, located at the mouth of the Crystal Run, has become a hub for those seeking to explore the Everdepth. Legends also speak of a hidden kingdom at the bottom of the ocean, ruled by a powerful king who has the ability to command the creatures of the sea. It is said that those who discover this kingdom will be granted great riches and untold powers.

Despite the many mysteries that surround the Everdepth, it remains a vital part of the Artorian Empire. The ocean is home to a wide variety of marine life, including schools of fish that provide food for the empire's many coastal cities. The people of the empire also use the ocean for transportation and trade, with ships carrying goods to and from distant lands.

As the years go by, the mysteries of the Everdepth continue to draw adventurers and explorers to its shores. Some seek to uncover the ocean's secrets, while others simply hope to make their fortune. Whatever their motivations, those who venture into the Everdepth must be prepared for the unknown, for the ocean holds many secrets that have yet to be discovered.

Local Legend

Long before the Artorian Empire rose to power, the Everdepth was already an ancient and mysterious ocean with secrets hidden in its depths. One such secret was a legendary city that was said to have been lost beneath the waves. The city was said to have been home to a powerful civilization of mysterious humanoids who possessed great knowledge of magic and technology.

Many had searched for the lost city but none had returned. It wasn't until a brave adventurer named Maxim set sail to find it that the true fate of the lost city was revealed. Maxim had heard stories of the city from sailors and scholars alike, and he was resolved to uncover the truth behind the legends.

For months, Maxim sailed across the Everdepth, facing fierce storms and dangerous sea creatures. But his determination never wavered, and he continued his quest until one day, he finally caught a glimpse of the lost city beneath the waves.

As he descended into the depths, Maxim was awestruck by what he saw. The city was unlike anything he had ever seen, with towering spires and intricate buildings of shimmering crystal. And as he explored the city, he discovered that the strange beings had been guardians of powerful magical artifacts that had been lost for centuries. But Maxim‘s discovery did not go unnoticed. The news of the lost city spread across the seas, and soon, pirates and other adventurers were flocking to the Everdepth, seeking to plunder its secrets. The denizens, who had been living in peace and seclusion for centuries, were now forced to defend their home from invaders.

In the end, it was Maxim who led the defense of the lost city. He rallied the citizens and together they fought off the invaders, driving them back and protecting the secrets of the Everdepth once more. The city remained hidden beneath the waves, and the lost people continued to live in peace, grateful to Maxim for his bravery and determination in forever keeping their secrets.
