Realm of the Faceless Ones

The Faceless Ones diverged drastically from Homo Mermani at some point in the past. The Faceless Ones are savage, carnivorous creatures, able to shred flesh and bone with their claws and teeth. They are aquatic and thus able to breathe underwater and survive the cold and pressure at the ocean's depths. Around 5900 BC, thirty years after the death of the Atlantean ruler Kamuu, the Faceless Ones besieged Atlantis, swarming through its streets and slaughtering the people. A northern tribe of Homo Mermani known as the Old Ones, led by Suma-Ket, offered to eradicate the Faceless Ones in exchange for being allowed to settle within Atlantis. Ket quickly fulfilled his promise, using magical means, banishing the Faceless Ones to a subterranean realm.
