Abyss Divers

Abyss Divers are those brave or foolhardy enough to sail into the Abyss searching for sunken islands that contain relics and riches lost to the centuries.

They sail down in rickety ships as few are willing to fund their ventures.

Deep in the Abyss live monsters and creatures that have grown to gigantic proportions due to the lower gravity.

They find fungus choked islands and explore them. Often they can return with red ore known rather unimaginatively as Red Stone to divers, Rubumite to scientists but the Vayan know it's true origin as Titan's Blood.

The Red Stone can fetch a small fortune, but the true goal for any would be abyss diver is finding an artifact. Finding of anachronistic technology allows a normally poverty stricken Abyss diver to retire should they manage to survive both the dangers of the deep and the dangers of their fellow divers.

Most Abyss Divers live in pauper's tombs. Hollow rocks that are chained and moored together to create a shanty town.

"A diver is only as good as his rig" a common saying among diver communities that rings true. Every diver has a Rig, a small craft used to traverse the Abyss. They come in innumerable variations with many superstitions attached to certain configurations. Some use sails, others uses harpoons and pulleys, rare are those that can afford elementals. Commonly a Rig is used to pull the diver's tomb from one shanty town to another perpetually searching for the motherlode.
