A rare possibility is for a Leviathan to seek out the self image of long since dead members of the Tribe. It is rumoured that the Progenitors themselves have left remains here, ancient fossilised shards of a long dead monster god's identity stretching for miles, guarded by all manner of strange neuroses and the psychological complexes that gave this long fossilised self image meaning. Even if the Leviathan can't find a remnant of her Progenitor, the fossils or still living identity of a more recent ancestor can offer a glimpse of life in an earlier era. A successful discovery can provide a bounty of information or even the revelation about one's ancestry needed to increase Sheol. Few trips are successful for here every creature is unique and in this dangerous environment lifespans are not long. If a living Leviathan's self image is destroyed it will soon reform but a dead Leviathan's is lost to history. | A rare possibility is for a Leviathan to seek out the self image of long since dead members of the Tribe.

While some of the greatest discoveries have been found elsewhere, it is the third depth which consistently delivers it's spoils into the grasping fins of the tribe, at least those who can tell treasure from trash. Here the roiling light found above has faded to a dim twilight. Under this faded glow memories take form, but they're not alone. The strongest memories, the ones with great emotional worth are found alongside the psychological complexes that give it value. The desire to keep a guilt ridden memory a secret snaps its jaws and spreads clouds of ink to protect it's charge. Treasuring a memory of happier times forms symbiotic creatures who polish and cherish their charge. |

A memory's size is directly linked to how much information it contains, while the memory of a single Ritual will not be very large a single creature can hold a bounty of closely related information. An old and experienced Leviathan's entire library of rituals could form a immense beast, teaming with symbiotic life, gracefully cutting through the depth. |
