The Coral Altar of the Deep
The Coral Altar of the Deep
Read Aloud
Water surges through the marble corridors as Thalassa Morwen turns the altar rings. Sahuagin slip from the kelp and merrow haul themselves up the stairs, while the black Sigil spins inside a tightening current. The runes flare once, then begin to go dark.
