Preocan Kingdom

The Preocan Kingdom or Kingdom of Preocan is an underwater kingdom in the Crystal Realm. It is one of the three underwater kingdoms. It is home to the Preocan people.

## Society

Generally, cooked food is frowned upon. Because they're underwater and have no access to fire, they kill aquatic life and eat them raw. They have evolved to be immune to the health risks that came with it.

## History

### The beginning

When life evolved enough to be intelligent, they collectively decided to create a place and settle there. They farmed, gathered, and hunted. It was a simple life but overtime it garnered other people's attention and the population grew. They all decided to establish a kingdom, dubbed the Preocan Kingdom. A few people were selected to be the leaders.

### Establishment of the Preocan Kingdom

A very religious family always prayed and gave offerings to the Water Goddess Amara. They were viewed as weird until Amara appeared and blessed every single Preocan. The religious family got more gifts, including divine powers. After dismissing Amara as a mere myth and being proven wrong, everybody praised the family and they rose to become the Royal Preocan Family.

### Competition with Two Other Underwater Kingdoms

They weren't the only life that had evolved in the ocean and soon they found themselves competing against the Braixaris Kingdom and the Ucrothia Kingdom. They began to compete for resources and tried to have better technology than the other two. The competition still continues to this day though it is slower.

The Preocan Kingdom is currently the most technologically advanced underwater kingdom, with the Ucrothia Kingdom being second, and the Braixaris Kingdom being last. The Preocan Kingdom is slightly more advanced than Earth's technology.

### Discovery of Land Civilizations

Bold and adventurous Princess Coral was exploring and breaking the rules, she crawled onto a beach to relax, she noticed a person approaching the beach. She dove behind a rock and watched the person, shocked that they had legs, once they were gone and nobody was in sight, she dove back into the ocean and told everybody she knew about her findings, including her parents, it was dismissed as nonsense and Coral got grounded and was not allowed near the surface again, she was watched by bodyguards nearly 24/7.

The subject died down until one day, a group of Preocans were swimming and one got caught in a fishing net, they went up to investigate and found a boat that was fishing. Luckily the person caught got free and they told the king and queen and were dismissed again as silly land myths. The topic revived and became a heated debate on whether or not land dwellers really existed.

Similar incidents began to spread across the kingdom but the king and queen kept dismissing them, believing it to be a stupid prank, however one day, when the king and queen were out on a swim, the queen got caught in a net and was 7 inches below the surface, the king broke her free and they finally believed the citizens. They told the other kingdoms of their findings and they believed them, due to them having similar incidents. New laws were put in place and people avoided the surface unless necessary. People remained in the deep ocean, where no land dwellers could find them.

### Investigations of Land Civilization

The kings and queens of the four underwater kingdoms agreed to investigate privately then release information when needed. Queen Aquamarine of the Preocan People made herself have legs and followed to the palace, she eavesdropped and discovered the other kingdoms, the Ziria Empire, Republic of Shaetus
