According to legend, Sahuj was a powerful island city off the coast not far from here. Its residents were rich and powerful, and arrogant also. They demanded divine  powers from a Goddess of the Occult, and angered her. She cursed them and their beautiful city, and it sank beneath the waves of the Sahieren. They were never heard from again, and no refugees from the city ever survived.

But part of the Goddess's curse was that the people of Sahuj would never again be able to live above the Sahieren's surface. They would never know the sun, or any of the things of the surface world...they were trapped in the depths of the sea.
