The Deep Dwellers

In the realm beneath the waves, legends tell of a mystic and shadowed people, their stories lost to antiquity after suffering great defeat with the loss of their leader in the War of the Ancients. Yet for all the years since their vanishing into the Abyss, tales of their might and magic are still sung in the above . . . their names whispered in the night as a warning to Salt Children who would dare to swim too deep.

The Unspeakables . . . The Surface Watchers . . . The Shadow Lurkers . . .

For all their rumored names, the abyssal folk care nothing for what those swimming in the above call them. They alone know that their retreat into the shadowed realm of forgotten lore was not to lick their wounds, or suffer lightly in their defeat. Those that time and Salt have named as The Deep Dwellers went into the depths to regain their strength and numbers. To await a sign from the above signaling they should rise and return to power once more . . .

And their sign just arrived.
