## Overview

   It is impossible for a mere human to reach such a depth beneath the Toran Ocean due to the constant maelstroms that prevent anything but the jellyfish from gaining access, but a human would be very lucky to survive such a brutal obstacle and gain access to the palace. Using the summoning technique, jellyfish can give an object to a person and have them transported to the Palace of the Trench without a contract. This passage is secretly created by the guardians that protect the palace. Through a powerful current, the guardians can reach remote or isolated regions far across the globe even shinobi's who are given shroud of sage aura that protects them as they ride the current.

    Palaces in trenches can be mobilized when needed, but such precautions are not always necessary unless the secret of their home is threatened by an opposing force that aims to destroy them. This is an incredibly rare occasion since the palace has been in the Toran region for millennia.

Every sixteen years, the ruler of the region changes. When an elder becomes a monarch, his or her life span ends at 29 while some may outlive their life expectancy and remain in office until their death, but sea life is not so inclined to accept outsiders as their monarch.
