The Deepwater Mark

The Deepwater Mark is less an object of craft and more a harrowing inscription upon the living canvas of the self, a testament to the psychic forge of the Deepwater Oracle. As Chronicler, I stress: In every glyph lies not just the mountain's memory, but the echo of the hand that carved it, revealing the spirit of the artisan. This indelible sign, manifested upon the eyes, is the physical residue of a terrifying communion with The Deep. It is not a mutation, but a necessary refinement, achieved through the ritualistic application of focused Tidal Lenses near the churning, volatile depths of the Abyssal Trench. The ritual itself involves the use of the Chalice of Unveiling, forcing the Oracle's sight to stabilize the chaotic flow. The Mark glows faintly with the turbulent flow of Oceanic Resonance, perpetually mirroring the shifting, internal currents of the The Western Sea. Its true purpose is to stabilize the Oracle’s mind against the raw, entropic truth of the deep water, allowing her to accurately read the geological fallout that defines the catastrophic Tide of Drowning. This Mark is a living, constant record, charting the geological trauma caused by the Great Sundering upon the coastal geography. It is the tragic beauty of knowledge gained at the expense of comfort, serving as a constant, shimmering warning of the coming Great Unmaking.
