The innermost circle is a magic core, not much is known about this type of magic only that it is older than merfolk history, there is not much recorded about it aside from the myths and legends that mention it along with Queen Orihime the Light of the Kingdom
Disposal of the dead bodies is treated in a ceremonial manner, they are covered in salt then wrapped in specially prepared leaves of Kelp and taken through to a deep valley under the water that is named aptly the Valley of Death, where the bodies are surrendered to the currents sent off with song and prayers, on occasion a large Sea Dragon will rise from the depths to accompany the body to its destination, its considered Taboo to follow the bodies to their destination,
