In my travels about the great eastern continent, I have encountered more than one society which embraces a theology centered around the ocean god Neptune. Those that inhabit the region around Mt. Olympus say that there are gods who live high above the clouds on that peak, and these gods include Neptune and his siblings. Piscyrean refugees live a spartan life of devotion to this ocean lord, and the marvelous undersea city of Atlantis bears the marks of both Neptune's mentorship and his wrath. Having infiltrated Atlantis and befriended a few of its citizens in hopes of finding a home for my clan and forging a lasting relationship therein, I found myself with a unique opportunity to delve into the culture and beliefs of those whose lives depend entirely on the sea. Their fears have not been lost on me, and I've grown to accept many of their chronicles as truth. One intrepid explorer named Ysortus writes: "While mapping out the sea floor outside the dome, my party stumbled upon a deep rift in the earth, which extended as far above and below us as the instruments could detect. Further exploration led to an encounter with one of His Holiness' minions, and only I was left as my party turned and fled from whence we came. I, too, turned my tail after the minion spoke of a mortal audience with our Maker, the idea of which is too terrible to imagine. We shan't venture into the Abyss again." I am currently assembling a strong party to explore this forsaken realm deep in the Abyss, though I doubt that any mortal could penetrate very far, confronted with the prospect of encountering a vengeful god, even if he be a demi-god. -Grimace 5/97 (LAST UPDATE: 6/28/98)
