Let's create a setting

>>51183085
It' post-apo, Waterworld style

>>51183112
Land is considered an extremely precious resource by the largest sapient groups in the setting (empires, corporations, whatever it turns out to be) due to the inherent difficulties of gathering resources, building infrastructure and general society management on the oceans. This extends beyond the ranges of standard territorial desire present within our own world's history, obviously.

>>51183112
There are 3 main 'races' on the setting

Most weapons are made out of whale bones.

>>51183163
The first race are sentient squid-people.

>>51183163
One of the primary races are elves, who use magical facial tattoos to cast powerful spells from their mouths

>>51183226
They are also
Mermaid elves if you will.
Can I directly add something to one idea?

>>51183163
The last are ancient Egyptians, who are making a comeback

>>51183246
You can expand on other ideas, yes.

The most recent technical breakthrough is Rifling

>>51183216
There's a legend among squid-folk that those of them who don't die until they're 150 turn into monstrous mindless giant krakens

>>51183295
It's not actually a legend, just that it is almost impossible to survive until 150 in the post-apoc world without dying.

>>51183331
That was the idea, m8

There's a small amount of Not!Dutch people that love in underwater trading posts

>>51183348
Their love isn't that expensive

Anime aesthetic

>>51183262
Their god is a frog who intervenes on fate.

>>51183362
I'd veto that...

mix of medieval/rennaissance
>>51183362
seconding

>>51183362
I allow that, but only if anime in question is LoGH.

>>51183112
As most of the civilisations got flooded, and it's already a few hundred years after the calamity, few artifacts tah survived are considered magic and relicts of old saint granting supernaturall powers.

>>51183389
Some also make you superhuman in all the ways.

The Water in this world is of such a low density, that no one can possibly swim in it.

>>51183112
The world was covered in water after a monster unfroze the icecaps, it was slain by six heroes

>>51183415
The heroes were cursed with immortality and are now trying to find a way to die

>>51183415
4 of the egypteans and 2 of the sentient squid people.

there was no mermaid-elve involved.

>>51183426
One of them is a large weird energy mummy after trying to die so many times

There's is a desert that consists of magical sand

>>51183472
the Sand is of such a high density, that every single sand particle weighs about a ton.

>>51183472
It's filled with sandworms
and magical desert anime fairies

>>51183472
The legend says if you put this sand into an hourglass, it will allow you to turn back the time itself, albeit briefly.

>>51183497
the legend turnout to be false though.

>>51183507
as you could only do that with the sand in the hidden temple of time

>>51183472
No matter what, the sand is unable to go beneath the water

The wisest creatures in the ocean are whales.
HUGE whales.

There's a race of giant underground ant people that have a loosely soviet aesthetic.

>>51183951
Not only are they the wisest, but they are the most magical. Whalebone weapons are automatically better in terms of edge retention and such, and with the right knowledge whale bones and oil could be used for proper magic. We dishonored here.

The main monsters are skeletons, who attempt to mercilessly slay the Elves to take their skeleton bones.

>>51184038
>>51183951

Whales are even able to fly and are handled like godly creatures by the elven-mermaids.

they're also the only creature able to swim in the super low density water.

Incest is the societal norm

>>51184114
I'd like to veto this.

>>51184114
Makes sense.

Deep One time.

>>51183472
Things that die in the desert don't rest easily, it all coalesces into a giant abomination of bone and decaying flesh that roams the desert destroying everything.

Soul sucking demon mer-babies populate parts of the oceans.

>>51183085
The few solid ground lands that exist (aside from the cursed desert of heavy-ass, magical sand that's crawling with sandworms), are jealously guarded by those who know where they are. They use them as base of farming and industry and protect their location with fierce determination.

>>51185202
There have always been legends of a civilization hidden deep within the desert, in a dense, lush forest protected from outsiders and invisible without the right artifacts.

>>51186179
The legends were started by some guy making shit up to fuck with people. He thought it'd be funny if people risked their lives in the desert looking for something that wasn't there.

Turns out there is a hidden jungle city there. It's inhabitants are both confused as to how anyone gained knowledge of their existence and angry that explorers are getting closer to finding them.
