Profundum Pontum Wiki

This is the informational hub for Profundum Pontum, a roleplaying realm played on the "Casual RP" Discord server.

Profundum is currently in its initial assembly stages. A great deal of core information has yet to be written for the setting, and it is not yet ready for play.

About the Realm
Profundum Pontum takes place on a world that is almost completely covered by an ocean. While the world might once have had lower water levels, that time would have occurred so long ago as to be generally dismissed as myth and unrealistic imagination. Those who cling to land and air are precious few and becoming ever fewer, while a handful of intelligent aquatic and amphibious peoples have risen and developed fully fledged and mature civilizations with long, rich histories.

In Profundum, you can be a member of one of the species of merfolk who dare to depart from the relative safety of the High Worlds to seek out riches, adventure, fame, power, and answers to unanswerable questions. Minor magic known as Aura is a common and mundane force in most underwater societies, akin to how electricity and science is for us, in the real world. Much more powerful magic exists in the open expanse and the depths below it, as well as other places too treacherous for common folk to explore. So do gargantuan, predatory leviathans that could swallow a small city, and truly ancient ruins that hail back to times and places that historians deny ever existed. What will your character discover, and will they survive to tell the tale?
