The Plane of Primordia

Primordia is a plane covered in sea as far as the eye can reach. Only the peaks of the highest mountains pierce the surface of the planewide ocean and allow colonies of avens to nest on the sides of their cliffs. Put the realm of the surface just hides the vastness of the world underneath where the militaristic shelled merfolk fights the savage sharklike Loxor; where the shifty Cephalid scheme unholy plots with the cultists revering the horrors of the Chasm - the tentacled Slogth and their slumbering masters.

Overworld

­"The elders told me of their time as wanderers on the slipstream. Stories of traveling so far upwards that the water turns thin and won't carry you any further up. The top of the ocean. I wouldn't believe them until I grew old enough to make the journey myself and see the blinding awesome light beyond the kelp for myself. And to my horror I saw what no elder dared to relate in a fable: a shadow gliding by above and returning my gaze."

Bright Surface

­"I have left the spines of Belantia below to roam free of civilizations webs and snares. The unrefracted light shines through my fins and I feel a warmth our kind has forgotten. Farming the algae, tending the myriad, all these things we do for the reef-dwellers and their burdened existence, but after the work is done we dance in the currents to the song of the clan-whales. We are servants, but we are free and they are not. How I pity them."

Tribes

Aven

Types of Merfolk:

Saproling based on algae - drifting on the surface in colonies to get light. Possibly pests to the Shellfolk for the eclipses they can cause when out of control.

Cephalid

Horrors (Slogth?) sentient, low-level sapient

Zombies (Tide-taken)

Elementals

Homarid Scavengers?

Siren graceful hunters; human-like nixen? singing their songs with the whales? colonies around whales?

Fish schools of them!
