Cerulean Seas

  The Cerulean Seas Campaign Setting by Alluria Publishing takes place on a world in which a Great Flood took place and wiped out many civilizations. Those those who lived upon the land suffered the most as civilization were swept away by the oncoming tides. It is unclear exactly what caused the Great Flood, as many of the records are sort of murky on this subject. The majority efforts were survival for both underwater and above water races, but 522 years have passed since the rising of waters. Whatever the cause it greatly changed the topography of the planet, leaving few a land masses around the planet.

 
The campaign setting introduces a number of races for underwater campaigns.  Many PC races will be familiar such as the Delatari (Aquatic Sea Elves), Merfolk, Tritons, intelligent sea creatures, etc., but also introduce a number of new races as well. You can find crabfolk, frog folk, fish folk, feykith and others that add to the deep flavor and variety that an underwater campaign can handle. Each of the races presented provide fragments of the world history as from the perspective of the underwater races. It is known before the Great Flood, there was another significant event known as the Bloody War which also bought about the extinction of the Delatari. In this war invader from the Quasi-Elemental Plane of Minerals were also fought off by the Tritons. There are many mysteries that one can uncover as you can piece the history of this world as well as keep the peace between various aquatic kingdoms. There is also room to for non-aquatic and semi-aquatic characters to play as well. Many are survivors who have adapted to life on the seas.... ever sailing.

New deities are introduced as well tailored to underwater races, but also present a number of gods that are familiar to land dwellers too.Some familiar names like Poseidon (Greek), Sebek (Egyptian), Aegir (Norse), and Dagon (Phoenician) are recognized by most and perhaps give clues to some of the former history.

The Campaign setting as of this date has only three releases which are Campaign Setting Source book, Polar Campaign Setting Source book, and rules regarding psionics. Many more books are planned to explore the rest of the world. Not only have they provided rules and information for the campaign setting, but these new ideas can also fit very well within any wolrd!
