The gods of the Undersea are dead, but there's a thriving market in their remains, known as godware: the men and women of the Myriad archipelago risk their lives to retrieve such relics from the depths of the ocean. Since the Cataclysm forty years ago, no sacrifices have been made to the gods. The Myriddens live free of fear, and tell stories about the gods that have taken on a life of their own. ( minor spoilers )
