ABOUT

Far beneath the waves is a different world. A stunning, white city carved out of coral sits on the sea floor. At the center of this remote settlement is a magnificent castle. Sitting on its throne is the Merfolk King.

Regal Royal. The king is a brave, honest merman and loved by his people. He is also a fierce, gruff warrior and few ever challenge his power. The King doesn’t deal with change well and wants the merfolk community to follow the ancient traditions.

Family Fishman. Sorrow grows in his heart as his wife was killed in a sahuagin raid. He now focuses on raising his seven daughters. All seven are precocious mermaid princesses who want their independence.

Undersea Palace. His large family, including the many princesses, all live in a coral castle. A company of merfolk knights are based at the castle with a stable of dolphins and sea horses.
