Sports are not really a thing in the Sedimentary Lands but some people practice fighting by a sort of martial that involves two or more people simulating a fight with staves, to train dexterity and strategy.

As the geology of the planet shifts, it's not unlikely to see amber in caves, which gives the name to the Amber Nation.
Animals find refuge in the caves during winter but this means that when food is scarce, competition rises.

The Salt Lakes take, the Salt Lakes give. If we want to preserve our food and have it taste better, we should dive in the lakes to harvest the salt but with no certainty of coming back. Who survives will have one more chance to eat another day.

The Mokele mbembe is a large herbivore that traverses parts of Aywu Akfa in search of cacti.
Sometimes people domesticate these animals and ride them to traverse the desert.
Here are two adventurers in a Spinifex field.

There are multiple leaders in Aywu, who are guild chiefs. They also manage trading, which is very important for the Aywul and the whole Clay Nation, in fact trading is not only internal but also done with other nations.

The Aywu Akfa is the largest desert in the planet, situated in the tropical area of the Akfanjewa (Ana) continent. It is populated by small animals, prevalently nocturnal and one human settlement, the capital Aywu, near the sea.

Spaeleomedusa fylvensis lives in the karst caves of the Forest Nation, relying on underground flowing rivers and the nutrients they bring, which also determine its metamorphosis and reproduction. It's a pseudo filter feeder also capable of predating other animals.

HHosal use fires and torches for themselves, while natural light can create peculiar scenery, for example the mint glow jellyfish groups gathering with full the moon.

Coastal people evolved and adapted their whole life to the water with their anatomy and physiology.
They search for anything tasty the sea has got by boat, fishing on the coast or diving.
Here you see a woman harvesting floating algae in shallow waters.

Legends talk about giants coming out of the ocean, causing waves and blowing currents from their nose.
It's how the umibozu pygmy whale defends itself: it scares other animals with its fake eyes and blends the rest of the body with disruptive colours.

The Rift Ocean is scattered with deep trenches, while in the Seamounts Ocean there is more volcanic activity and seamounts.
The Polar Ocean is around the south pole and it partly connects with the other two.

There are countless legends passed from ear to ear about ghost ships and what they may hold inside.
Some of them also tell about a giant living in the sea, who can cause anomalous waves by moving.
#sedimentarylands #worldbuilding

Mermaids usually play with each other, communicating with sounds to create bonds.
Since they can breathe air, sometimes they ride waves swimming through them just for fun, or they chill on the rocky shores.

If rabbats fall in the water, they swim to reach the coast. Of course they must be close to land and the sea must be somewhat calm.

Along the coasts of the Rift Ocean, people capture the wood sprites with nets and make meatballs out of them. The sprites are washed, ground and condensed into meatballs, which are cooked and served with spices.

The religion of the Salt Lakes forbids to eat flamingos and robins, since they're sacred animals. Same thing with the weather stars in the Southern Islands.
In the Rivers region it's considered rude to eat the glowing mushrooms before the related festivity.
