Bajau People :: Bajau people live in the middle of the Sea, rarely go on land, have no nationality, no fixed abode, no money and they go spearfishing without scuba gear. Not even oxygen tanks.

“There, at a depth to which divers would find it difficult to descend, are caverns, haunts, and dusky mazes, where monstrous creatures multiply and destroy each other. Huge crabs devour fish and are devoured in their turn. Hideous shapes of living things, not created to be seen by human eyes wander in this twilight. Vague forms of antennae, tentacles, fins, open jaws, scales, and claws, float about there, quivering, growing larger, or decomposing and perishing in the gloom, while horrible swarms of swimming things prowl about seeking their prey.

To gaze into the depths of the sea is, in the imagination, like beholding the vast unknown, and from its most terrible point of view. The submarine gulf is analogous to the realm of night and dreams. There also is sleep, unconsciousness, or at least apparent unconsciousness, of creation. There in the awful silence and darkness, the rude first forms of life, phantomlike, demoniacal, pursue their horrible instincts.” ― Victor Hugo, The Toilers of the Sea

Dolphin

So Dolphin, Who is also an Atlantian and is now with Garth aka Tempest...uh the first Aqualad, Who also has a kid, But thats not important. I was looking up things as you do saw Dolphin and noticed the art style looked familiar to me. Did some research and boom its the creator or Harleen aka Stjepan Šejić (read Harleen its so good) who is also married to Linda Šejić who created Punderworld and Blood Stain two web comics I am a fan of...I love both their works they make such good stuff. Enough Gushing about artist! I was really digging the look of Dolphin and while drawing her I noticed something from another Dolphin, okay Dolphine from Wonder Woman and the Star Riders...its came out in like 93, Dolphine has a skirt that has like netting and I thought it would be a cool addition to the outfit, making it look like fishing net or something. I thought it would look cool to be honest. Also Atlantis retro futuristic my fave looks for buildings. As for coloring oh dang this took like -checks clock- 8 hours? 10 hours? I don't know I was just trying to make it look really nice underwater and not muddled, which I like to think looks nice, and I got it right...I did a lot of work...I need something simple for a breather.

Real civilization was the Bronze Age, everything since the collapse has been the post-apocalypse. People just don’t use tin like they used to.

Aaaa please tell me more about children of darkness / your Sky world

Had to retype this because I forgor to save the draft 💀 anyway lore stuff below the cut

So in my sky world light and darkness need to be kept in a balance for the world to thrive. According to legend, if there is too much Darkness, the world will rot and fall to decay. On the other hand, if there is too much Light, the world will burn to ashes. The earth is a neutral ground, providing places, resources, and earthly creatures to the children of Light and Darkness. The god of the earth isn't capable of creating her own people, which is why the witches were created with cores given by the other two main gods.

Since you're asking about the children of darkness specifically, I'll talk more about them in this post but here's a google doc of other groups of people in the world with some key points. Anyway back to them

Religion

The god of darkness resides deeper than the depths of the ocean. The element of her children is water, just as the element of Megabird's children is fire. The most important group among the sea people are their priests. They listen to the whispers of their god in the waters and provide guidance to everyone from their understanding of her words.

Territory

The main capital of the Sea People's civilization is a large underwater city and all kinds of people live there, from prominent and historical families to regular shop owners. They also have settlements on the land, mostly around other large bodies of water like lakes and the seashore.

Political borders

While they prefer to reside closer to the waters, their territory still extends to some of the great land forests until it reaches the boundary cutoff created by the priests of the sea people and of the witches. Since it falls under their care, there is a sovereign organization that looks after it called the forest watchers. They don't need to follow the orders of the central or local governments. The maintenance of the forest border is too politically important, which is why it's important that their members are not easily swayed.

Cultural inspirations?

Honestly still a work in progress but I'm thinking to lean a bit towards Chinese cultures, which is why Ivel calls Blake gēgē. I'll make it more prominent when I touch on the more traditional and older families and groups

Dragons

I've chosen to interpret the Krill/Dark Dragons that we have in the game as corrupted light mantas. In my story they're either called Krill or Lesser False Dragons (if someone is feeling particularly touchy about it). There are actual dark dragons. Similar to Chinese dragons, they are connected to the water. They're not venerated, but they are well loved by the people. A few young ones even enjoy helping people with difficult tasks

That's all I can think of for now ^o^ there's loads of stuff I still need to think about but feel free to ask more about specific stuff maybe it'll help me whsgsjj

Then: "Oh, bother these fish!" said Lucy, for a whole shoal of small fat fish, swimming quite close to the surface, had come between her and the Sea People.

Odd question but is Iolaos a twunk?

[naomiknight-17]

if you're wondering who the Sea People are: good question! historians have no idea. <3 "who the Sea People are" is a mystery scholars have debated for decades. there's like a dozen theories and all of them have their problems. I love it, the Sea People's identity is great fun to look into. theories range from "climate refugees turned to ancient piracy" to "semi-coordinated bands of mercenaries" to less plausible "ancient celts" to even less plausible "north americans" to the absurd "actual atlantians".

History is a fuckin' trip man
