The Sunken Collective
A group of islands that float in the vicinity of sea level, some slightly above the water line, but the majority beneath it. The taller hills of the sub-aquatic islands breach the surface of the ocean, forming unique trading spires. Inhabited by seafarers and traders, and the home nation of merfolk, the Sunken Collective is the lifeline of commerce between the nations, skilled in negotiation and diplomacy.
The Sunken Realms have absolute mastery over nautical travel, with the other major nations favouring skyships. The absence of a sun and contellations affects nautical vessels as much as their aerial counterparts, however, and so even in the Sunken Realms Lightweavers are essential for navigation.
A large part of their economy is built around the trade of salvage from the oceans, and relics from the ruins of the old world. With the rise of sky pirates, damaged skyships will often crash into the seas, and the people of The Sunken Collective are always willing to assist the crews who are stranded or in need... for a price.
