Maelstrom Deep is large enough to swallow the largest galleon whole.

Overview

Maelstrom Deep (Commontongue), also Barugal (Furytongue \ˈbɑːruːgɔːl\ for lightning tide), also known as The Storm Weaver, is a mighty Titan in the universe. It's name comes from some of its dominant qualities, storm and the ocean. Lore about the Ocean Storm Titan is rare and incomplete, coming primarily from other titans, some Dragons, and fewer Immortals.

History

The Lost Age

Little is known about Maelstrom Deep during the Lost Age, save that it existed and prospered in the Contest Eternal.

The First Age

Maelstrom Deep was defeated in the Foundation War in 1578 FC by other titans who, being manipulated by the Founders, set out to fragment the Ocean Storm Titan. However their victory was interrupted by the Founders and Malestrom Deep was imprisoned. A fragment of its realm body, the Shattered Shores, would be the battleground for one of the most important strategic milestones of the Foundation War.

After its defeat, it was contained within the astral prisons where it has remained ever since.

Description

Realm Form: And endless ocean with features inspired by core aspects:

- Enormous whirlpools that lead down to air pockets at the bottom of the ocean
- Abyssal trenches in the ocean floor with cities of greedy pirates who drowned
Avatar Form: A massive sea serpent with mirrored scales and eyes that glow like lighthouse beacons. It has the roar of a hurricane and is so massive as to be difficult to see all at once.

Maelstrom Deep was famous for its insatiable greed.

 =Description=
-Its realm form is that of a deep blue-grey ocean and the turbulent skies above. In its oceanic depths are abyssal trenches and vast underwater mountain ranges teeming with bioluminescent life and dangerous oceanic creatures. Its surface waters are a perpetually storm-tossed waves with enormous whirlpools that could swallow islands. Above the waters the skies are a theater of raging tempests and bolts of lightning that danced from cloud to cloud to sea.

-Its avatar is that of a colossal sea serpent with shimmering, mirror-like scales. Its eyes project beams of light, like lighthouses guiding lost ships to their doom. Its voice is like the roar of a hurricane and its body, like the ocean itself, is so massive as to be difficult to see all at once.

 =Personality=
-The Obsidian Titan's personality is said to be regal, brutal, proud, and cunning. Pride is no rare trait among the Titans, but few earn their pride more than the most powerful Titan to ever exist. Everburning Obsidian has retained its identity through countless Dominions of other Titans, which has given it a godlike sense of indomitability. However, it is not reckless. It is famous for its cunning and patience, evoking the long periods of wait before a volcano erupts. But when it does erupt, the wrath of the Obsidian Titan is unlike anything the universe has seen.
