At the deepest depths of the seas it is said that a race of human like beings exist, capable of bending the very waters in which they live to their whims. Whilst no official record of such beings has ever been made; from all across the world sailors and fishermen claim to have witnessed the figures of women with fish-like tails basking in the sun’s light.
Delusions, mirages, hoaxes, many such terms were used to describe these such tales. None were believed, many scorned, until that one fateful day…
Altansit, a grand city built atop a small island. Through the decades the city grew, expanding outward via the construction of great pillars that reached far into the sea’s depths. All around the world Altansit became known as the largest hub of oceanic commerce, a population surpassing the thousands and rapidly reaching towards a million.
As such, it was a great travesty the day that Altansit fell victim to the sea’s wrath. Nothing remained, the whole city now said to rest upon the ocean’s floor and yet… Not one life was lost.
In mass survivors were found washed ashore across the globe on islands and and beaches all over. Each and every one of them all claiming to have been saved by maidens of the sea, women part fish.
