The Myth

Myth… Legend… Tale… Story… Fable… Saga… Mythos… Lore… Folklore… Mythology… Whatever you choose to call, it is something universal. No matter where you go in the world, where you go in the universe it seems there are new myths to be found.

The denizens of the Depths had their own mythology. One such figure was Emperor Roman the Sea King, a heroic god king. A god king was a deified ruler or euhemerized pagan deity. On earth such god kings included the Pharaohs, Odin and many pagan sacred kings.

According to legend, Roman was not a person of the Mer. He had legs but what made him different from any four limbed humanoid were his webbed hands and fingers. He was a large, blue skinned humanoid who stood at a height of six feet and two inches and had a very muscular physique. He had brown hair, blue skin, black eyes with no visible pupils or iris, pointed ears and wings on his ankles. With long hair and both beard and mustache upon his face, Roman looked somewhat barbaric. In addition to the hair, mustache and beard his barbaric appearance was added to by his wearing of a gladiatorial manica on his right arm, chest plate and the wielding of a trident. He had lost his left hand in some battle and had it replaced with a prosthetic hand made of water. His golden helmet and trousers that were deep sea blue with a camouflage pattern seemed positively civilized in comparison to the rest of him. He could fly he had the strength of a thousand and could speak the language of the sea beasts.

Roman had one archenemy. The Leviathan was of all sea beasts the greatest danger to the denizens of the Depths. Roman and the Leviathan had not been seen for centuries, the former having sacrificed himself to defeat the latter and never more had the Leviathan terrorized the Depths.

And then the Leviathan returned.
