💠 Agolit Crystals
Name: Agolit Shards
Type: Sea Crystal – Universal Energy Source
Origin: Formed within reef caverns, trench mines, and ancient relic beds across the ocean and land.
Divine History: Created by the Sea Goddess, to nourish her children and power their sacred artifacts.
✧𓂃⋆༶⋆𓂃✧ Description:
Agolits are luminous, naturally-formed crystals infused with pure sea energy. Their glow varies by tier, they resonate with living beings and water-based constructs. Found embedded in deep-sea cave walls, sunken ruins, and sealed reef vaults.
These crystals serve as:
✧ Energy cores for artifacts and relics
✧ Primary energy source for cultivation, used by mortals and elite cultivators alike
✧ Fuel for transport glyphs, tether runes, and breath seals
✧ Currency equivalents in some reef-bound societies
(other tiers of agolits will be added in the diary after they have been introduced in the later chapters.)
💠 Relic — Breather Fang
Name: Grade I Breather
Type: Bound Relic – Lung-Seal
Crafted From: Fang of a drowned serpent-beast
(Note: Not rare — just stable. Common among lower-rank reef crews and unawakened divers.)
Function:
Provides temporary underwater respiration by anchoring near the lungs.
✧𓂃⋆༶⋆𓂃✧ Description:
A smooth, pale relic shaped like a serpent's fang, etched with simple breath-glyphs and runes for shallow sealing. Designed to bond just below the collarbone, forming a non-invasive tether to the user's lung channels. Once anchored, it creates a pressure-stabilized breath seal that lasts a limited duration.
✧𓂃⋆༶⋆𓂃✧ Activation:
✓ Slot in a Tier I Agolit shard
✓ Press the relic to bare skin over the chest
✓ Seal begins on contact — do not resist or attempt removal mid-bond
Duration: ~5 hours
Pain Level: Minimal (unless resisted)
Stability Rating: High
Intended Users: Unawakened mortals, surface recruits, and entry-tier trench miners
> "If you panic, it burns faster. If you pull it out mid-seal, you'll lose skin."
💠 Artifact — Currentback
Name: Currentback
Type: Sea Artifact – Tier II Transport
Crafted From:
Armoured scale-plates and nerve marrow of a Siltfang Leviath — a docile, giant-class sea beast once bred by ancient reef forgers for relic diving operations.
Capacity: 6–10 individuals
Usage: Intermediate-range submersible used by mining crews, reef scouts, and low-tier cultivators to reach underwater trench systems or relic zones.
✧𓂃⋆༶⋆𓂃✧ Description
The Siltfang Leviath resembles a compact, armoured submarine with a thick, plated shell shaped like a trench beetle's back. Its hull is carved from reinforced beastbone and rimmed with barnacled alloy, glowing faintly with luminescent vein-lines. Inside, the sealed chamber is pressure-stabilised and fitted with vine-wrapped seats and stabiliser harnesses.
✧𓂃⋆༶⋆𓂃✧ Power Source
– Requires 2–3 Tier I Agolit shards (or 1 stabilised Tier II Agolit)
– Activated via a core-anchor slot located beneath the pilot's brace
✧𓂃⋆༶⋆𓂃✧ Standard Features
✓ Mid-depth pressure shielding and breath-seal enchantments
✓ Internal communication glyphs (voice + pulse signals)
✓ Boneglass viewport with magnification runes
✓ Silent-drift mode for evasion of sea beasts
✧𓂃⋆༶⋆𓂃✧ Limitations
✗ Cannot surface rapidly (cooling glyph delay)
✗ Susceptible to high-tier sea beasts without flame-attuned pilot
✗ Hull prone to stress cracks near divine relic fields
✧𓂃⋆༶⋆𓂃✧ Common Use
Deployed by reef-bound crews operating below the coral belt. Piloted by a senior shift captain or flame-linked tether anchor.
Some say the Siltfang Leviath still leaves echoes in the deep — a sound like a lone, mournful note humming through the trenchwater.
Those who hear it call it "the Leviath's song."
It's not truly a voice — just vibration, pressure, something that finds your bones before your ears.
> "If you hear it — don't answer. Dive deeper, or surface fast."
(– Old trench diver's warning)
