Shell-Gem Diver - Ashes of Creation

Niküan arts often feature a wealth of Shell-Gems – multihued pearls harvested from the depths.

Those employed to retrieve the precious treasures from the ocean floor train from childhood in order to develop the lung-capacity and pressure tolerance needed to brave the darkness and the hazards of the deepest waters. These celebrated divers often employ heavy, weighted belts or woven net bags to facilitate their long journey to the ocean floor in mere moments, thus maximizing their time navigating the silt of the seabed.
