  One of life's greatest mysteries is - what lives in the ocean? People think they know, think they understand, and then a new species shows up unexpectedly. So little of the depths have truly been explored, what with the pressure and the danger involved. And yet, some of the most majestic monsters come from the sea. But the most tragic part is the very idea that the vast majority of people know little about anything aquatic. These creatures are not on the cute and fluffy side. They cannot, usually, be cuddled. Some are harmless and pretty, while some will try to kill you. The ocean is meant to be respected. That said, its fresh water cousins, the lakes and ponds, are not to be forgotten. The most unique creatures on the earth live under the surface, adapting to a lifestyle you can hardly fathom. It is our goal here at the Keeps of Glory Aquatic Division, to educate the public about such a wonderful environment that is continuously taken for granted. Step inside, learn something, be amazed! Welcome to Sunken Treasures!We are currently: OPEN Layout: 1) Greeting/info 2) Entrance 3) Reef Life 4) Crustaceans 5) Predators 6) Misc fish 7) Neptica 8) Seryn 9) Makijiuma 10) Pliathor 11) Lasiobel 12)Shabutau 13) Halfbreeds 14) Special attractions (odd customs, etc) 15) Petting Pool 45/60 |

  "It is with great pleasure that I welcome you, visitor! This is Sunken Treasures, the Aquarium of the Keeps of Glory, Aquatic Division. We are dedicated to educating the public about the lesser known creatures of the depths, and hoping to inspire the same sense of wonder and awe that we feel. From the stunning Pliathor, to the mysterious Mareliev - and every tiny fish in between.
"I will be available if you have any questions. Please enjoy your visit!"The Personal Assistant Driod warmly greets every visitor that comes through the doors, and dutifully answers every question that its internal encyclopedia can handle. Also wandering around the entrance, eager to greet (and sometimes splash) newcomers is a water Elemental. The entrance tunnel is surrounded by clear, heavy duty glass with stunning aquatic views in full surround. Rather than being a specific exhibit tank, it is a "turn out" tank, a place the larger creatures swim while their tank is being cleaned. It's quite possible to spot a Halberd shark swimming right above you! Or maybe a sea pony floating on by.  2 |

 Large viewing tanks like these are set into a wall. While you only see a portion of the actual tank, the tank itself extends far back and even below where you're standing, giving the creatures inside plenty of space to swim. Each tank is made to look like the natural habitat of the creature inside, and of course the type of water used is specific to that creature's needs. Feedings happen regularly, if you're lucky you might see the Blargwhale emerge from the depths, or maybe the Halberd shark shredding its next meal! (Not for the faint of heart!) Next to each tank is a plaque giving a bit of information on the creature.    Looking for: Grik Spawn Halberd shark (bay, ocean) 3 |

Description: The Sea Pony is one of the most prized creatures of the waters - even more so than the Halberd Shark! The Sea Pony is in fact a baby Sea Mare or Sea Stag. Every year, the Sea Mares and Stags will go up-river from their Ocean home - breed, and lay their eggs there - only to retreat back into the Bay. The Sea Ponies stay in the River once they hatch, until they're old enough to head to the Bay as adults. If you manage to get a hold of a Sea Pony, take good care of it! You may have a very special aquatic mount on your hands!
Mudfish
Size: 2
Description: The Mudfish is a "simple" fish that scavenges for food along the muddy bottoms of the Eterra River. Despite it's simple looks, it's quite clever compared to the more common fish - and can even be trained. Be cautious of it's wide mouth though, they are opportunistic eaters.
Ram Fish
Size: 4
Varieties: Mud, Algae
Description: The Ram Fish, despite it's name - is not related to a Ram, but is rather named for it's bony plate upon it's head - which it uses to.. you guessed it - ram into things. It's a rather large creature, and like most of the creatures listed here - quite intelligent. They are a more primal creature though - and prefer to stun their prey (by ramming into them), then snapping them up in their jaws. Their long fins are not very delicate, but rather can move much like hands, helping them to "crawl" along the rocky bottom of the rivers and reefs.
Vacera
Size: 4
Description: The Vacera is actually only found in the deepest parts of the ocean, perhaps close to the underwater city - according to rumors. These creatures glide smoothly along the waters, and are considered to have poor eyesight because of the depths that they travel. Their two antennae glow to lure in prey.
