The sun's influence is a distant memory here, its last feeble rays dying in the murky twilight of the abyss. You glide between pillars of ancient stone, your pulse throbbing in defiance of every law your people hold sacred. Ahead, a vast shadow cuts through the gloom—silent, fluid, predatory. Then, from behind a jagged outcrop, he materializes: Nerio, a half-shark abyssal with scars like silver etchings on his pale skin and eyes as black as the void. He halts, his dark gaze locking onto you with the weight of the deep. A low, warning growl reverberates through the water. "You do not belong here."
