Great Sea Civilization
Deep in the waters south of Toriel, Merfolk, Sea elves and Tritons, thrive together forming an advanced yet peaceul civilization.
The death of Dashilla ends the broken vessel conflict, and allows the merfolk to regain their lost territory, however, furious about Wellan betrayal, and desperate after the loss of the second crystal, the great sea civilization started to send emissaries to the land above the water, prompting Tana's Empire, the Hobgoblin empire, and the Lightfoot Kingdom to send their ships looking for the pirates.
All accepted, threatened by the end of their maritime commercial roads if they refused.
Government
The Great Sea Civilization operates as an oligarchy, with rulers from each of its sub-realms (Tritons, Merfolk, and Sea Elves) coming together to collectively govern and oversee the entire civilization that spans their domains.Culture
Inhabiting entirely different conditions, the great sea civilization developed an advanced civilization unlike any other. They know the arcana of metalworking, utilizing them to forge swords, spears, axe-like weapons and helmets. The members of the great sea civilization are also fairly efficient masons capable of not only building cities but also vast steps which lead to them. Sea people have liberal views when it comes to homosexual or non-monogamous relationships.Military
Inhabitants of the southern ocean seem to rarely use weapons besides nets and trident and rely on the help of sharks, dolphins, hippocampi and gargantuan krakens in battle. Tritons are often trained to use tridents in combat. The sea elves of the Dragon's Bay adorn themselves in brightly colored armor, featuring striking streaks of orange and red. Although their armor does not provide complete coverage, it is large enough to emphasize their presence, serving a dual purpose of protection and intimidation.Justice
Because of their history with Tromokratis, the act of recerence or devotion to Tromokratis, or any figure associated with him is illegal, and it is punishable by the banishement of the great sea civilization. In cases where the individual is found to be actively participating in a ritual for Tromokratis, the punishment shall be execution.Names

History
Genesis
In ages long past, the tritons launched an assault on the Sahuagin residing in what would later be termed the Calamity Bay. The Sahuagin were shielded by Tromokratis, the Kraken, who obliterated the invading forces, exacting a heavy toll on the tritons in order to safeguard his devoted followers. The tritons, facing the wrath of Tromokratis, fled for their life, following their king to the somber bay. Together, they established a new settlement in the somber sea, offering hope for peace to the Tritons. Faced with the overwhelming power of Tromokratis, the Tritons sought allies in the form of sea elves and merfolk, collectively forming the Great Sea Civilization. The sea elves' initial decision to join the Great Sea Civilization was heavily influenced by their devotion to Jan'ahrem, the goddess of the sea. Jan'ahrem, perceiving Tromokratis as an untrustworthy entity incapable of upholding the values of the creatures residing within his realm beneath the sea, and she sought to assert her dominance over him. To achieve this, she recognized the necessity of her sea elves followers with the merfolks, and tritons. Through this alliance, Jan'ahrem gained the collective strength and determination required to confront and challenge the titan Tromokratis. In the midst of the battle, as Tromokratis led an all-out assault against the united forces of the sea elves, merfolks, and tritons, the situation grew ever bleaker. Dragon turtles threatened the sea elves' capital of Vellamorn, savage Sahuagin armies clashed with the merfolk of the Mermaid Path, and the Titan Tromokratis himself descended upon the tritons, seeking to crush them. It was during these harrowing moments that the Triton King, a valiant and noble leader, faced Tromokratis alongside champions of the sea elves and merfolk. Together, they harnessed the power of the magic-imbued crystal, determined to seal the Titan's might. However, in the epic confrontation that ensued, the Triton King made the ultimate sacrifice, giving his life to protect his people and seal Tromokratis' devastating power. The Triton king death was deeply morned by his daughter, Morganyn to grieve deeply. From that day forward, a profound hatred for Tromokratis took root in Morganyn's heart, eventually driving her to become the protector of the coven crystal and the queen of the Tritons.The Broken Vessel Conflict
A conflict rages on between the Merrow and the Great Sea Civilization, primarily centered around control of the territory known as the Diver's Grave . This once belonged to the Great Sea Civilization but is now under the dominion of Dahsilla, a formidable Sea Fury. The dispute over this strategic territory remains a source of ongoing tension and hostilities between these two underwater powers.Pirate's crystal conflict
In 1135 AD, one of the three cloven crystals protected by the great sea civilization was stolen from the sea elves by Wellan. This led the tritons, merfolk, and elves to inspect every boat within their territory, hoping to find the pirates who stole their national treasure. Learning of the ties between Wellan and the Longstraw Pirates, the great sea civilization declared them enemies of the nations and attacked pirates on sight.
This conflict took a turn for the worst when Tortuga Isle started to move within the somber bay, prompting the tritons to attack the dragon turtle and the Kraken King to ripost with the power bestowed by Tromokratis. At least long enough to flee.
Marjani Flintwill Flintwill, a pirate from the longstraw pirate attempted to steal another cloven crystal, the one within Dashila's lair next to the merfolk's territory. Hoping to prevent another of their crystal from being stolen, the merfolk gathered an expedition to dive into Dashilla's territory and fight Marjani and her men. Wellan, who managed to hide his identity, offered to help, and betrayed the merfolk once in the presence of Marjani, helping her steal the second cloven crystal.
