Mouth of the Abyss

The Mouth of the Abyss is a subaquatic city at the bottom of the Bay of Oreleth, in the reaches of the Titan Isles. Carved into the walls of a sunless trench, the city is inhabited by creatures which appear monstrous and alien to surface dwellers.

Aldani
Aldani, also called crabmen and lobsterfolk, are large crustacean-humanoids covered from head to legs in white shells. The most numerous speicies in the city, the aldani are unable to speak common, but their own language of clicks and gutteral sounds. Some seem to be fluent in Aquan.

Despite their exceptional strength, the crabfolk are mostly timid after centuries of isolation on the seafloor.

Deep Merrow
At first glance, one might mistke the deep merrow for merfolk. By the time they are close enough to learn of their mistake, the toll of their error has likely been paid. With faint white lights gliding in two lines down their body, their skin is translucent allowing their luminous blood to be seen from outside. In the dark depths, the merrow have evolved a blindsense in place of eyes. Their gilled heads are topped with a round lamprey mouth.

In combat, deep merrow flash their bioluminescent lights in rapid succession, luring prey closer, then stunning them as they make their fatal strikes.

The Sunken Guardians
At the Northern wall of the trench, protected by a forcefield like current, is the colossal Castle of the Sunken Lords. Within its halls, a group of five storm giants reside.
