Aquos

Aquos is the capital of the Laverathian Empire. It is the hometown of Reides.

Description
A description of the town's geography/what kind of people live there/commerce, etc.

Members of the Laverathian city guard are colloquially referred to as Steelfins. The Laverathian Kingsguard are high-ranking guards assigned to protecting the Laverath family. Commoners occasionally refer to the Kingsguard as Silverfins due to their pelagic armor, but it is highly inappropriate to do this to their faces and can result in imprisonment.

Coralpeak Citadel
The Coralpeak Citadel houses the royal family of Laverathia. It is a massive, sprawling structure, magnificently decorated and fortified to withstand the harshest of undersea elements.

Known Rooms and Structures of the Citadel

Entrance Hall: (tba)

Throne room: The throne room is also a coral reef; as a result, the room is very colourful. It has very high ceiling, held up by several massive, coral-covered pillars. A bridge fashioned out of a shimmering opal-like material connects the room’s entranceway to a series of platforms carved from white stone. Each of these platforms is decorated with gold and pelagic metal, though many of them have melded together with the sea life around the room. The visible patterns upon them give homage to Persana, depicting his symbols in abstract mosaics. The throne is located on the highest of these platforms, which is in the center of the throne room. The midpoint of the throne room's bridge is decorated with a huge emblem of Laverathia - a detailed, swirling conch shell. Beneath the bridge and surrounding the throne itself, one can see an extremely deep chasm which many peaceful sea creatures reside in as well as the coral reef itself. The room is illuminated with bioluminescent lamps.

The throne of Aquos grows out from the reef itself. This is symbolic of the harmony between the tritons of Laverathia and the creatures of the sea.

A hidden tunnel is located towards the back of the throne room. This tunnel leads out of the Citadel and towards a large ridge to the southwest of Aquos, past the seaweed fields. It is used in emergencies, but members of the royal family occasionally use it as a means of sneaking out of the citadel.

Ball rooms: The Coralpeak Citadel has two huge ballrooms which are reserved for formal functions.

Library: The royal library has the most impressive collection of tomes in Laverathia. Its floors and walls are constructed out of a variety of gray, blue and green stones.

The Tower: The most isolated tower on the outskirts of the Coral Citadel. A small bridge leads out of the main palace towards this tower. It has one huge door which locks from the outside. Inside, it has chains on its walls. Reides was imprisoned in this tower in 597 for a number of weeks due to his request to go to the surface world. The specific details surrounding his escape remain unknown; Lotlyn managed to open the door somehow and encouraged him to go to the surface. In 598, Lotlyn was imprisoned here by Kal’dazzum and Ryl'dhagt of the Abyss. The Pog Champions broke the door down, freeing her. Reides later told Arlyn that they should just level the tower.
