Atargatis



Atargatis is a massive and highly advanced underwater city created by the Octa. It is the largest settlement of Octa in Haven  and has remained essentially undisturbed by the outside world since its creation at midway through the  Age of Enlightenment. Resting somewhere at the bottom of Lake Haven, Atargatis' location is relatively unknown to the other species, partly because non-Octa cannot reach the city, (unless either transported or granted water breathing by an Octa  Mage ) and also because the Octa use  magic  to keep the waters of Lake Haven distorted and murky so that the light from the city is not visible on the surface.

Atargatis is essentially a utopia of some sorts, as pollution and food resources are dealt with and provided entirely by the lake respectively. It is a structural marvel, demonstrating the advanced architechure and innovation with magic that the Octa have achieved. The city is lighted by spherical bulbs enchated with magic to give off perpetual light, and the city itself is built along massive fissures in the Lake floor, from which bubble nutrients and heat which other fish are drawn to, creating a supply of food for the Octa.
