Theories on how the Atlanteans are managing to go inside the Bronze Sea
Every time we go to the borders of the Bronze sea there is a big wall of dark fog that separates us from the Dark sea. We still don’t know how this wall is pushing the corrupting elements of the Dark seas, but it has done its job for how many years people have lived here. Not only has it blocked the polluted sea and clouds, but also Atlanteans as well. For the expeditionary few, it is a godsend. As Atlantean ships will swerve around as the ships go beyond this fog wall. But circumstances have proven otherwise, and now there are coming in massive numbers. I have many theories as to why this is happening.
The Barriers are Weakening
This theory postulates that the fog wall surrounding the Bronze sea is giving up. This could be due to general wear and tear from the Dark sea clashing on to the wall or some other supernatural reason.
Polluted waters and dark clouds would seep in the cracks. The process would be gradual and exponential. It would start out as inconsequential, mostly mistaken as waves carrying it over. But over time it will start to become much more visible and prominent, almost going as far to the southern cliffs of Mount Othrys. This in turn gives the Atlanteans a familiar environment to sail through, especially during the night. Their adaptations to low-light environments would backfire as soon as they see the sun, and they can only sail when it is cloudy.
Now this weakening is not uniform, as for the case of the southern parts of the Bronze sea being hit first. It is only a matter of time before the northern parts of this wall collapse as well, fully enveloping the Bronze sea, and many others, to be consumed in the darkness.
This however does not explain the sightings of Atlantean ships, as this would assume the Dark sea has increased in energy to make the 1st range have Insanity 1. Though it could be just that these Atlanteans are desperate for flesh and they have found a new food source.
The Dark Sea is Strengthening
This is a much more insidious theory. This postulates that the Dark sea’s chaotic energy has surpassed the energy of the fog wall. This phenomena might be due to an event that could increase the energy levels of the Dark sea.
It would have similar results from the former theory, but much faster and have far more consequences. The surge of energy has pushed the energy states of all Ranges. Dark sea expeditionary groups will be experiencing Insanity 1 on the Insanity 0 range. The Insanity 5 Range has the potential to become much more inhospitable to the point that not even Atlanteans can live there due to the increased chaotic energy. The Insanity 5 dwellers would have to migrate down a range, potentially disrupting the equilibrium of the Insanity 4 dwellers. This would in turn cause a chain reaction as the Atlanteans would try to run away from their stronger brethren.
And this is where it gets worse. Since the Atlanteans from the Insanity 1 Range (which now has Insanity 2) have now gone down to the Insanity 0 Range (which now has Insanity 1), this could mean the Bronze sea is in a process of becoming the Insanity 0 Range with polluted seas and all. However, if the surge is much bigger than anticipated, there would be no such thing as an Insanity 0 Range. Only time will tell if this surge will ever come to an equilibrium.
real 
You know? I may have to make a whole trello to keep track of everything and start doing it now before it gets too split up
I might make a topic to gather up all the lore related replies/topics so that its easier to find them, cause when i made this is did NOT expect this kind of reaction (its good tho!!)
put me in the story as the AWE cult leader insane annoying character that randomly just survives!!!
Heya, I’m going to write a story from the PoV of a new OC who’s hiding up on Cirrus, trying to start a defensive and rescue movement with Arish. If anyone else is writing anything about Cirrus just tell me what ideas you have so I’ll have some context for my chapter.
i dont like Arish therefore i declare he was eaten alive by the atlanteans (fuck you Arish)
Nope I need him for character development spare him for a bit please.
Okay fine, but he gets turned into human crushed granite after being turned into an atlantean and eaten by the atlanteans eating people [ABYSS SEA] calling all chefs
He dies by a stray cannon ball thrown by a cannon fist user
Hades and PK had a clash, and killed each other, resulting in 2nd impact, which strengthened the Dark Seas
Heres a few details we came up with!
- Cirrus is currently using their skyships to airdrop resources to islands with groups of survivors
- The Stepstones are being guarded by the magic users of the island, Arish being one of them
- The base of the Stepstones are swarming with Atlanteans
- Currently, the Cirrus residents are working to upgrade their skyships to be able to descend closer to sea level, in order to conduct rescues, but dont have enough material yet
I think I’m gonna write something on Redwake
Joining the cooking gang…
Here we go, could have done better but we all know chapter 1s are not the best (right?)
[ABYSS SEA] Cirrus Chapter: Together, Apart and Together Again - Writing - Arcane Odyssey
I’d assume that Redwake and Cirrus would soon try to establish a trade connection by creating docks of sorts on top of the jaw spires, and developing skyships which can safely fly that low. The sky islands can only really be reached via the stepstones - so taking the lower part back is a must.
Arish Vista would likely take control of the Cirrus side of things, trying to get Elius on his side as well. Once that’s sorted, moving onto official alliances with the Redwake Warriors and Chefs Resistance.
(And some Your Sea Needs You posters ofc)
In terms of plans for my own character, Tobias/Cynthia I think they’ll want to stick around with the Cirrus group and help fortify and claim back some territory. Can’t wait for this AU to develop and what other things people have got for the North Bronze Sea.
what is calvus the fourth plus calvus the fourth?
calvus the ATE (them. he ate them)
((jk, just wanted to make that joke. i actually forgot he had kids so their fates are currently undetermined. probably being taken care of by their uncle Revon))
