Sunken Luthe

Sunken Luthe is a submerged island city, and a stronghold of Lunar occupation in the West.

## Appearance

Sunken Luthe, as its name implies, is a massive city deep beneath the waves in the West. Being a First Age city, there are many areas whose structural integrity survived not only the sinking, but also the pressure and erosion that most materials would succumb to. As such, the city has a sort of patchwork appearance of ruined artifice and perfectly-sound structure. Seafolk of various shapes and sizes flit carelessly through the ruined portions, which form most of their residences and establishments. The more structurally sound buildings are sealed off and contain air, and are were visitors from the land-dwelling world come to stay. Ironically, despite their First Age design, the ruined portions of Sunken Luthe are more valuable to its denizens than the conserved parts.

## Notable People

### Leviathan

The shahan-ya of Sunken Luthe and locus of all Lunar activity in the Direction.

### Blood-Dimmed Deep

Moon-touched Orcafolk, she is the daughter of Leviathan and leader of the Siaka Guard.

### Flickering Manta Crown

A Lunar agent/spy who takes the form of a great bird. He has been gathering intelligence on the Blessed Isle, and during the Caul meeting, brings news: The war there had settled into a bloody stalemate, that has been disrupted by the return of Berit, daughter of the Empress. Berit liberated Pasiap's Stair and is potentially assembling a legion of Outcaste loyalists. Seems to be creating a viable third party between other two major house alliances. Ultimately assesses that the Realm is moving further away from peace and more towards fulfulling sunk cost fallacies. The stalemate seems to be breaking and no one is sure which way it will break.

### Hareth Wonderwright

Foremost artificer in the West among the Silver Pact.

### Rakhir the Cultivator

Sorcerer of Luna, scholar of the First Age.

### Gevan Batahul

Dragon Blooded member of one of Luthe's original families and go-between agent of Luthe.

## Notable Visitors

### Jinju Heaven's Nail

Emissary representing the Lunar presence in the North. At the meeting before the Caul offensive, Jinju updated the Western Pact of the Bull of the North's general plan to move into the Scavenger Lands and other Eastern territories instead of moving on the Realm, despite some resistance from a particularly powerful group of Dragon-Blooded expats who reside there.

### The Gambler in Red

Emissary representing Raksi, Queen of Fangs. Speaks for the Lunars of the East. Was not present during the pre-Caul meeting.

### Yugakita

Full Moon from the Southwest. Reports that there is no time to worry about the Realm, noting a substantial incursion of Fair Folk in the Southwest, as well as an increased presence of Lintha activity, including possible Infernal Exalted. Not overly fond of Flowers Unbending.

### Golden-Leaf Liseli

A Shahan-ya from the South. Reports lots of economic war in her Direction. Liseli has been building up massive fortunes over time and using them to bankrupt notable people and topple economies. Attrition-oriented warfare, though the timetable has been accelerated somewhat.

### Lintha Haquen Fia-Shaw Flowers Unbending in the Storm

Associate of Sha'a Oka, major player in the Caul and common representative for the Lunars of the Caul. Seems to be more loyal to the Pact than the Lintha, though still butts heads with Yugakita on matters of Lintha activity in the Full Moon's Direction.``
