The Coral City's Last Reef

# Nautical# Intrigue# Wilderness# Dungeon

The shimmering spires of Coral City, a marvel of aquatic architecture, are scheduled for demolition. A construction permit, a symbol of a corrupt bargain, has been torn up. Now, two desperate factions fight over the city's fate, and the players are caught in the undertow. This is a campaign of survival, ideology, and the brutal cost of progress in the depths.

Chronicle Prelude

The Tidal Refuge, a crowded, barnacle-encrusted district on the outskirts of Coral City. Here, displaced residents whisper rumors, Faction recruiters lurk in the shadows, and the distant, rhythmic booming of the Sahuagin demolition crew echoes through the water.

Environmental Traits

The Sahuagin Demolition Crew has been contracted to raze Coral City to make way for a deep-sea temple complex. The city's officials tore up the original permit in a fit of corruption, but the Sahuagin, bound by a blood-oath to their contractor, are proceeding anyway. The players must navigate the chaos to either save the city, ensure its destruction, or find a third, costly option.

An elderly triton with faded blue skin and a long, braided beard. He wears the tattered robes of the city's historical society and carries a heavy ledger. His eyes hold a desperate, unyielding hope.
Foreman Grolk
A hulking, scarred Sahuagin with a missing eye and a deep, rumbling voice. He wears a tool belt heavy with picks and levers, his posture radiating pragmatic exhaustion.
Bureaucrat Marden
A shifty-eyed human in a damp, expensive coat. He reeks of cheap ale and desperation, constantly glancing over his shoulder. He carries a leather satchel.
Captain Shorgal
A powerfully built Sahuagin in polished bone-plate armor. He carries a barbed trident and moves with disciplined grace. His expression is one of grim duty, not malice.
Aboleth's Psychic Projection
A shimmering, translucent mass of alien flesh and tentacles that phases in and out of reality. It emits a low, mental hum that feels like pressure building inside the skull.
Water Elemental Aqualix
A swirling vortex of clear water and seaweed, vaguely humanoid in shape. Its voice is the sound of distant waves and crashing surf.
Merrow Packleader Scargill
A massive, hulking merrow covered in scars and tribal tattoos made of luminescent algae. It guards a sunken plaza fiercely, dragging the wreckage of intruders into its den.
Kippi the Locathah
A small, wide-eyed locathah child with dull, patchy scales, clutching a bundle of salvaged trinkets. She looks perpetually scared but curious.
