    The Posian Trench

    LORE PAGE COMING SOON
    • The Posian Trench ranges from depths of 20 000ft to 30 000ft.
    • Sunlight cannot penetrate this deep- there are no plants, only chemosynthetic bacteria and other organisms that can survive the extreme conditions.
    • The deepest parts of the trench have glowing giant bones with crystalline growths.
    • It's not uncommon to find sunken structures and ruins. Weirdly shapen pyramids, strange temples, harsh cut shafts that look like they came from heavy machinery and so on.
    • The following items can be found via Scouting in the Trench: ITEM LIST

    CAREFUL, THERE'S DANGER!

    The Trench has many levels that lead down deeper into pitch black waters. You can find many things here that are related to the deep sea and sometimes even treasures that you can bring home for inspection. However, swimming takes time and you only have so much air in your lungs. For that, you will have to use magic or let someone else help you with theirs.

    The Posian Trench is based on the Marinara Trench. Check this pinterest board for inspiration:
