Visual Description
A bearded man sits alone in an underwater cavern, holding a three-pronged trident upright. He rests his chin on his hand in a thoughtful pose, his long dark hair floating and fish swimming around him. Sunlight filters down from above, striking the rocky cave wall behind him and illuminating the scene. He wears a simple cloth around his waist and bears small tattoos and sea-worn details on his skin.
