Hungry Abyss

The Abyss is a darkest part of the unforgiving ocean, populated by strange and mysterious creatures, as well as, some say, strange and mysterious gods. The Hungry Abyss itself is a massive, never-ending torrentious whirlpool, a few miles off the cliffs of Zagrean, constantly dragging things up from the depths below. Some believe it to be a spell, or even a living creature itself. All that is known is that it's pull is constant. Most denizens of the deep that come too close to the surface are halted by the Zagrean navy, but some slip by, twisted monsters and vicious humanoids called Charybden, often making thier nests in the sea caves at the base of Zagrean's coastal cliffside, and sometimes, into the city's sewers. What few chances there have been to speak with such creatures, aided by magic, revealed not but the ramblings of madmen, screaming about slumbering gods in the Abyss that will rise the cleanse the surface.
