The Sunken Riders

The Sunken Banks region of Rondo harbors a naval force unlike any other—the Sunken Riders, also known as the Sunken Banks Navy by surface dwellers. These warriors have formed deep and powerful bonds with the creatures of the ocean, forging a connection so profound that it allows them to ride upon the backs of sentient beings that are deadlier than any mere humanoid could hope to be.

The Unbreakable Bond:

At the heart of the Sunken Riders' strength lies their unique bond with the creatures of the deep. Through a mystical connection, they have gained the trust and allegiance of various formidable marine creatures, enabling them to ride upon these majestic beings. The bond between rider and mount is not merely one of convenience but a genuine connection that transcends language and species.

Formidable Fleet:

The Sunken Riders boast an awe-inspiring fleet that strikes fear into the hearts of all who dare challenge them. The rumored flagship of their armada is the awe-inspiring Leviathan, a creature of immense size and power that navigates the ocean depths with unparalleled grace and might. Accompanying the Leviathan are other legendary creatures, including dragon turtles, krakens, and other monstrous beings, each chosen for its unique abilities and attributes.
In addition to these legendary creatures, the Sunken Riders' fleet includes more familiar oceanic predators. Giant sharks, with their razor-sharp teeth and lightning speed, become fearsome allies in the pursuit of victory. The killer whales, known for their intelligence and teamwork, complement the riders' tactics seamlessly. Among their ranks are also the playful dolphin delights, who reveal a mischievous side while remaining fiercely loyal in battle. Plesiosaurus and other deep-sea monstrites add to the diversity of their formidable armada.

Swift and Decisive:

The Sunken Riders have perfected the art of swift and decisive attacks. Their aquatic mounts grant them unparalleled speed and maneuverability, allowing them to launch lightning-fast raids on their enemies. This hit-and-run strategy leaves their foes with little time to react or counter their strikes. Whether defending their home territory in the treacherous waters of the Sunken Banks or launching surprise assaults on adversaries, the Sunken Riders execute their maneuvers with incredible precision.

Feared and Respected:

The reputation of the Sunken Riders precedes them throughout Rondo. Their prowess in naval warfare and their awe-inspiring alliance with the ocean's mightiest denizens make them a force that is both feared and respected. Tales of their daring exploits and unmatched skill spread across the land, leaving all who hear them in awe of their accomplishments.
