Away from the budding Adrastia Continent.
An unknown thousands of miles away!
The waters of the Thalassphere Arx were not simply blue- they were living.
Currents of bioluminescent light traced elegant, spiraling paths around towering coral spires and crystalline domes that floated weightless in the abyss. The underwater cities here shimmered with layered citadels of translucent pearl and coralized stone, each structure crowned with streaming banners woven from kelp and ocean-thread. Great turtles the size of galleons drifted slowly between structures, carrying cargo and Atlantians alike on their carapaces, while schools of silver-scaled fish moved like liquid starlight around them.
And yet- beneath the beauty there was a a solemnity.
A stillness.
As if the ocean itself held its breath.
