Once every lunar year, at spring tide, the Atlantis Collective surface, and slither onto dry land. Shrouded in darkness they skulk through the sleazy alleys of the late night, stealing sideways glances at the shadowy figures huddled in the recesses of twisted dreams. Tuned into the submerged screams of the broken, they traverse the landscape, a band of faceless monsters mining precious nuggets from the murky dregs of humanity.
In an ancient city of tribes and scribes they smelt, craft and polish until dawn, when they return to the sea. They leave a sparkling jewel on the shoreline. In this treasure, we find reflected the grotesque masks of the damned.
