#UnofficialChallenge #UnderTheSeaChallenge #Showcase

  Lets share some love to the entries thus far! Check them out, leave a like, and lets show eachother how amazing the World Anvil community can be!   We've gotten three deities, or deity-like figures. The very first entry was Jacqueline Yang's Tarvaar, god of darkness, fear and doubt. jandis introduced us to the impish Iofi, who's mood shifts as fast as the weather, and we've heard Chris L whisper about a celestial glutton deep, deep under the waves.   I was expecting to see some awesome species, and you have not let me down thus far! JudasBrennan goes in-depth about the society and mysteries of the lovecraftian Tsuthar'Chor, and KajetanWrites introduces us to the sea-variant of his shadow monsters and an insight into how they tie into the history of the elves. Makenzie Turney evokes scylla and other monstrous sea-serpents with the Monsters of Lake Nicodes, and last but not least Dutrius gives us the intelligent but (unfortunately for them) delicious Pentasepia.   What I didn't expect were condition articles, but they work so well. Maxwell Ferris got there first with Tarvana, an ominous condition contracted by repeated free diving, named after the mad ravings of the affected. Since then mirescosmo has followed with the Sea Hollowed a disturbing magical undeath, and Scalenex introduced the monstrous shark-like Karakhai Abberations.   We've also seen some incredibly underwater locations, the most popular kind of entry thus far. They're incredibly diverse. Rain slowly unveils what has become of the Crashed Sky Citadel in a fascinating mix of fantasy and science fiction, and Blue Fairy 74 shows us an inventive use of the map feature when she introduces the unique Qimiori biome, an aquatic forest, and the cornerstone of it known as the knot-tree. Tanai Cuinsear writes about a classic underwater merfolk settlement, Earvaryosto, and weaves a rich history. hughpierre gives us tables galore in Thalatta, an underwater school of merfolk that weave the waters around them into a orb.
