The Deep Ocean · Bestiary
Cül
The vast open sea - known in-world as the Valtameri, the world's great ocean - and the nations that live beneath it. Tide-orders, whale-song gerontocracies, coral kingdoms, and octopus plutocracies share a world of deep currents that connect every shore.

Cül is the Valtameri beyond the shore: pressure, song, empire, abyss, and currents that remember continents. Its nations do not merely live in water; they build law, memory, and war through it.
The deep-ocean bestiary favors scale, sound, bioluminescence, and pressure-born strangeness. Surface instincts fail quickly once the light thins.
