Fathoms Below Player Guide
Far beneath the waves lies a magical city like no other ‐ Fathoms Below¸ the fabled trading port of the Deep Blue. Travelers from across the Eight Seas swim the coral-lined currentways of the submerged triton city ‐ merfolk¸ ixitxachitl¸ sea elves¸ sahuagin¸ water genasi¸ locathah¸ and even the occasional surfacedwelling human. All is not placid in the depths¸ however¸ as cults of deepdwellers plot against the triton Tradelords¸ the armies of the Tide of Sekolah mass beyond the kelp forests¸ and ancient ruins contain lost secrets that may save or damn Fathoms Below. This is a 5th edition D&D campaign set in an underwater environment where brave adventurers explore the ocean deep ‐ and may even venture into the mysterious alien landscape above the waves. There is no defined "campaign world" for Fathoms Below ; you can set it in the Forgotten Realms ¸ Eberron ¸ your own world¸ or wherever you like.
