Atlantic Sea Empire
Beneath the crushing weight of ten thousand fathoms, where light could not follow and time seemed to bend, there thrived an empire built not upon land—but upon the bones of the sea.
This was the Atlantic Sea Empire, a nation unlike any other.
Spanning nearly 90 million square kilometers beneath the ocean, the Empire's coral cities and abyssal fortresses stretched across trenches and seamounts, woven into the very bones of the ocean floor.
Its people—the Thalassari, a race of aquatic humanoids with gilled necks, bioluminescent skin, and eyes adapted to the deep—had ruled the seas for millennia. They were the fifth most powerful nation on the planet.
The empire's history stretched so far back that most surface civilizations treated it with mythic reverence. But those who understood the balance of power knew better. The Atlanticans were not legends. They were fact.
