[QUOTE="Bronz Dragon, post: 775023, member: 2508"] FOOD! Fish, fish, seaweed, fish, fish, fish, fish. Fish fried in fish fat, something that looks like sushi until you realize that the 'rice' is actually maggots or some other pale fleshy creepy-crawly (tastes delicious, until you find out what it is..) octopus boiled in kelp broth, stingray shish-kebabs, baked anenome, discount sturgeon steaks(yum, bottomfeeders), fish liver oil, kelp wine, concentrated plankton stew, crabby (literally) shopkeeps, clams and other shellfish galore. hrm.. that's all I can think of off the top of my head. Wizardru's ideas are awesome, I especially love the hermit crab bus. Architecture should have any even more organic feel to it than Akin's throat, IMHO. No sharp corners, except maybe the odd 'horn' or superhard stratta, which has resisted the centuries of erosion. Entrances ought to be oddly formed and of wildly varying sizes, and floors a bit uneven and possibly ridged in places. Is it on or near the surface/shore? if so, the tide could come in and out regularly, making some places that were only accessible by swimming before either easier or downright impossible to reach, depending on it's relation to the surface of the water. (Defenders swim to the mayor's office, just at the surface of the water, for a meeting and an hour later, they walk out to find a 10' drop to a shallow pool full of sharp coral.) Natural defenses for this place might include a corral reef just inside the entranceway, as well as awakened deep sea predators, who have a non-aggression pact with the city. Dire morray eels on leashes police the lower underwater portions of the city, and flying fish courier messages from below to those living 'high on the dry side'. At night, 'torchmen' wander around and feed globes of glowing plankton hanging on the wall, which glow and swirl, making odd patterns on the walls. Schools of livestock fish are penned and herded in bubble cages, forcing them into compact formations at low tide, perfect for easy catching. Wizards could have fishy familiars that float in a little bubble of water at their shoulders(a lionfish would be really neat). Hope that helps a bit :D [I]EDIT -- I didn't steal your ideas Eridanis!
