The northern abyssal docking canal smelled of sulfur, cold brine, heavy diesel fumes, and cheap machine oil.
Five jagged, black iron submarines emerged slowly from the deep oceanic murk.
Each submarine was seventy feet long and armored in rusted steel plates. They were adorned with the bone sigils of subterranean underworld families: the Iron-Blood Dwarves of the Urals, the Poison-Spider Clan of the Andes, and the Black-Sand Cartel of the Sahara.
Thirty heavily armed clan leaders walked down the steel gangways with arrogant, heavy stomps.
They wore spiked leather trench coats, necklaces carved from human finger bones, and brass knuckles etched with dark rotting curses. Behind them marched sixty hulking bodyguards carrying heavy iron chests filled with refined blood-diamonds, forbidden spirit-herbs, and sacks of raw platinum bullion.
