Chronicles of the Sunken City

Fragments recovered from the abyssal archives...

The Elder Runes

Found etched upon the great monolith at the city's heart. Their meaning remains elusive, but power radiates from them.

• Rune of Tides (🌊): Believed to control local currents.
• Rune of Depths (🦑): Possibly relates to the colossal guardians.
• Rune of Whispers (🐚): Said to carry echoes of the ancients.

Expedition Log: Dr. Aris Thorne

Cycle 7, Phase 3: We've breached the outer perimeter. The pressure is immense, but the submersible 'Nautilus' holds. Bioluminescent flora illuminates structures of impossible geometry. Readings show energy signatures unlike anything known.

Cycle 8, Phase 1: Encountered automated sentinels near the central spire. Activated Stealth Mode. Their energy weapons are formidable. Lost drone 3 to a containment field.

Artifact ID	Description	Origin	Power Level
ATL-001	Crystalline Orb	Central Spire	Fluctuating
ATL-007	Trident Fragment	Temple Ruins	Dormant
ATL-012	Resonating Conch Shell	Whispering Cave	High

Researcher's Note: The Conch Shell (ATL-012) reacts strongly to specific sonic frequencies. It seems to be some kind of key or communication device. Further analysis required. The city sleeps, but it is not dead.

Beware the currents.
