===The Second Depth === As a Leviathan swims deeper the light begins to dim. Here impulses make their home, it's a hostile dangerous place for the Tribe's impulses are cruel. Here a Leviathan must beware creatures that embody the tribe's desire for conquest, domination or combat. And yet not everything at this Depth is wicked, the impulse to nurture children, to forge community or find a higher purpose in life than the daily struggle to eat or be eaten, these are all represented here. The few surfaces that can be found here most often take the form of floating masses of bleached coral and polyps. While deadly to many of the smaller inhabitants of the First Depth, these tentacled creatures are mostly harmless to any Leviathan that brushes against them; even if it may sting a little. The creatures that inhabit this layer often look unfinished in some way. A long, lamprey-like creature with rows of eyes running along its back appears to lack any means of propelling itself despite the fact it is. A large, star shaped creature covered in flailing hooks might have a large hole that passes straight through the center of its body were a mouth or even organs might usually be. It is not uncommon to find creatures with complementary urges working together to become more complete. An entity created from an urge to protect a loved one might join up with a creature made of the urge to be comforted to become something larger and stronger. Those Leviathans who seek this layer of the rift usually seek meditation on the impulses that drive them. They hope that by watching each impulse in isolation they will be able to recognise it in themselves and learn to master it; or they seek a positive impulse they can learn to copy and incorporate into their own being. For some it's a religious or spiritual endeavour, for others it's a desperate attempt to regain control over their lives. A successful voyage could justify buying a dot of Resolve, Composure or even Tranquillity.
