Titaram

Built in the Demon Spawn War (89 GE - 269 GE), the undersea hold of Titaram was a forward naval base for the forces of Athroond. For decades of military service and loyalty, Titaram was turned completely over to Blibdoolpoolp; perhaps the best naval commander of the Abyssal Hegemony.

In 228 GE, Titaram was attacked by the Covenant navy under Thjorygg. Using underwater sonic explosions, a sort of depth charge, the attackers inflicted heavy damage and loss of life. Titaram, once home to nearly 10,000 aquatic demons, Aboleth, and Lacedon was evacuated by military decree. It became the anchorage for Covenant naval attacks on Athroond's southern holds, then abandoned as the war moved to other regions of the world.

After the Demon Spawn War, Titaram was slowly rebuilt by the Aboleth. As the populations around them grew, so did Titarum's rebuilding and its slave population.

In 1614 LE, the Lith-Crillion left the sunken hold of Urla'palos, going north to another subterranean sea. They came north quickly, wanting complete access to the secrets that protected Titarum, and securing any Covenant equipment needing safe-keeping.

Learning from its fall to Thjorygg in the Demon Spawn War, Titaram is now protected from all sound based threats. There approach in doing this, using engineering, underwater fauna and various motes of energy, which together rebound sound waves, is secondary to securing Covenant assets.

Titaram's capture was quick, with defenders falling to pooled psionic mental onslaughts that came in waves, stunning them in great numbers. The stunned were caged in psionic glues, and the more restive handled by Lith-Crillion marines in bio-mechanical suits. Like those subdued at Urla'palos, those that continued to fight the new status quo, found themselves lobotomized, their dark intent and inherent entropic ideals quelled by psychic surgery.

Under the Lith-Crillion, a surface living area was added, linked to the aboleth's underwater city. Air domes and other features were added, giving researchers access to underwater test areas. When the Lith-Crillion abandoned Titaram for research in distant lands, the aboleth returned to being masters of the city.

In the Durkoth Descent (995 HE - 1355 HE), the Durkoth of Ak'mrîtun (872 HE - 49) left the surface for the dark seas of Cthorgo and Green Nebulous. In these aquatic areas, the Durkoth waged a campaign of dominance that mirrored what they had done on the surface. At Titaram, this failed miserably, with nearly all the Durkoth being captured, turned into research subjects, or devoured.
