A man-made Imperial colony in the deepest abyss on Tempestas, Maritza was created as a home for workers in the abyss’s mines. The colony is made of a series of domes of metal and glass, with carefully-monitored airlocks and dedicated maintenance crews to keep it from collapsing. Due to its status as a company town, its inhabitants are largely at the mercy of their employers and their regular supply shipments for their continued survival. This has not entirely suppressed rebellion amongst the workers, but it does ensure such riots are swiftly ended.
The waters around Maritza are home to massive creatures known as Leviathans, sea creatures that have grown through millennia of exposure to magic to unnatural size. While hunting one is a dangerous endeavor, a successful hunt means a large supply of rare resources.
