Riparium

Riparium is an underwater kingdom in the Eastern Ocean, and can be reached by taking the Eastern Road past Delos. There are two main parts to the area, a coral reef filled with abundant sea life including the dangerous kraken, and the city where the merfolk reside.

History

Riparium was discovered in the year 278 AF, after the eastern bridge of Delos was rebuilt and adventurers were able to travel through the wilderness.

Culture

The residents of Riparium are wary of visitors from above the surface of the ocean, called landwalkers or drylanders. The kingdom is ruled peacefully by Nissandar and his wife Takliea, though sickly prince Nishir resents his father's way of rule and hopes to take over the kingdom.
