Kuo-Toa
Fish-people who live on the shores of the underground sea and in the temple cities of the Waveless Lake.
Canonical record
Ripple Lake In the Kuo-Toa cities, collective belief sometimes produces actual divine beings. Each city develops ritual, art, and public narrative to keep its god alive.
It is wrong to describe the Kuo-Toas by madness alone. The impact of their beliefs on reality has led to laws that are extremely careful about social responsibility and propaganda.
