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

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

Maelstrom Deep was famous for its insatiable greed.
