Abyssal Civilizations
Sovereign, ancient, and deeply enigmatic societies inhabiting the Abyssal Dimensions of Abzu and Tehom—such as the Udug and Spirits of the Deep—thriving in primordial darkness far beyond the Universe of Light.
Pop culture almost always portrays creatures of the dark as mindless monsters screaming in a wasteland. Abyssal Civilizations shatter that cliché completely: even inside nonlinear, lightless depths where ordinary physics fail, primordial beings build abyssal palaces, maintain political hierarchies, cultivate esoteric sciences, and preserve histories older than stars. Proof that intelligence, culture, and social order do not require sunlight or heavenly approval to exist.
