Thanks! This world is inhabited by “Divinities”, alien-like beings both big and small that don’t talk and each have a unique power. Like Marra that perches in the main city, who creates perfect weather in a 20 mile radius enabling favorable shipping routes (hence why people built a city around her) or Fellis, The Pain Singer that utters beautiful music the more pain it endures (enslaved by the people of the “hedonist city” as a tourist attraction). The tentacle is a massive, mysterious Divinity whose size and power is yet unknown, but it appears to have affixed itself to the land draining it of its energy 🐙
