Editing Aquar (section)

== Aquar ==
Long ago the races of the seas came together to found a city of their own. Since then, Aquar has become the dominant power below the waves. With its rule unchallenged it appears that the sunken city will remain for centuries to come.

==== Below the Waves ====
At the bottom of an oceanic trench, protected by tamed Killer Whales lies the city. Aquar is a bastion in the open ocean. [[Races|Triton]], merpeople, and more reside in its coral, seaweed, and anemone houses. To those from Ramesh it is a marvel but for Aquarts, it is the ocean’s majesty manifest.

==== Great Treasures ====
Sunken ships, ancient genasi ruins, and rare materials all make Aquar premium traders. Merchants from Aquar have access to the rarest of materials. This does not just include items though. The rare Levantine Whale rarely breaches the surface since it can hold its breath for up to three months. This is not a problem for the natives of Aquar who can chase these whales to the deepest of depths. Despite the danger, the price tag of ninety-thousand gold pieces per whale makes the hunt worth it in the eyes of many Aquart whalers.

==== Ocean Emperor ====
Aquar is ruled by the Neap family. It was the Neaps who first founded the sanctuary in the open ocean. Additionally, the Neaps were the first to domesticate the orcas and teach them to guard the outskirts of Aquar. For thousands of years the family line has remained unbroken. 

The current emperor is Empasaad Neap as of 701 AR.

==== The Sunken Pyramid of Tectuktitlay ====
At the bottom of the oceanic trench pulses the Sunken Pyramid of Tectuktitlay. The pyramid is two hundred feet tall and is pulses with faint primordial magic. There are no entrances to the pyramid. However, recently explorers from Aquar have made a discovery. The use of a [[torvian]] around the pyramid causes the structure to begin levitating above the ocean floor for a few seconds. No further research or testing has been accomplished on the pyramid.
