Day 13 Evening/Night
For those who wish, the merfolk will gladly take survivors to their city beneath where a feast will be held in their honor. More in depth interactions can be had. (Touch base with Krista if you have a request.) A LOT can be learned.
The area you're taken to is vastly deeper than expected. While in physical contact with a merperson, you can breathe underwater. The population of merfolk is bigger than expected, think a state capital like Harrisburg or Olympia, but not as big as Atlanta. (For our beloved Canadian, think Halifax.) But it's bunched together in what could be called a fortress/castle state.
As you can see, it's crazy dark until you get to the city. Light is provided by natural bioluminescence. Sponges. Lichen. Fungus, etc. There is a LOT of sea life. Fish. Sea mammals. They have underwater farming for cultivating plant life. Nothing like Mercowboys or ranches. :D
You'll be taken to what would be considered town hall/court for the feast. All the buildings are made from stone, corral, etc. Furniture is also carved and polished stone, but designed for comfort which is easy while mostly weightless. Food is seafood (duh) and sea plant life. Cooked and raw. (Cooked = boiled) Seasoning is strange, but tasty. Spicy like Indian food, but not screaming hot.
You will see the king and queen but not be permitted near or to speak with them.
