Aysepir’s Astounded Abyss
The Fish-Head Queen proudly presents Aysepir’s Astounded Abyss, an exhibition of the shocking, amazing, and terrifying sights of the Abyss brought right to the Puddles. The carnival’s striped and patched tents have been bleached by the salty sea air, while mud from the ever-flooded fairgrounds cakes the tents, spectators, and performers. Marketed as a pocket of the Abyss in the mortal world, Aysepir’s Astounded Abyss offers a scene of monsters, mutated creatures, and undead, which put on scandalous performances for curious tourists. These performances draw spectators from the various districts of Absalom, although some might be embarrassed to admit that they’ve indulged in the macabre circus.
The lineup of attractions includes the Living Eye, the Inverted Man, the Self-Consuming Troll—a creature who so enjoys the taste of his regenerating fingers that he poses only a moderate threat to the audience—and the Ignited Juggler, who is as engulfed in flame as her juggling props. Nuar Spiritskin, the Minotaur Prince of Absalom, was once a famous previous performer for the Abyss.
As Aysepir’s Astounded Abyss is the largest spectacle show in Absalom, the Fish-Head Queen is at liberty to spoil her performers. A cursed mermaid with the legs and arms of a woman and the head of a fish, she feels kinship with her troupe and regularly dotes on them. She expects the members of her outrageous family to behave and give their spectators a memorable show, but is reluctant to punish any transgressions. As a consequence, the carnival is a watch-at-your-own-risk experience.
