I can't believe that no one mentioned Paizo's very own production specialist, Crystal Frasier, did the entire layout and design for this gorgeous tome!
Crystal, I can't get get over the amazing layout job you did on this! I've been going over it all afternoon and am just beside myself. Incredible job, and it fits the theme so well! Awesome, awesome work.
And, if it makes you feel any better, there wasn't any mention of the guy that actually wrote the darn thing, either. =-)
But really, folks -this book is really something else, and I'm not sure we left a single shore-stone or seashell uncovered in our quest for the penultimate guide to lost seaside civilizations.

Psht! Writing! Nobody cares about the writing. If you'd wanted to be appreciated and notice, you should have joined the faceless production underclass :)

That's totally true... it seems like the writter does ALL the work... designers, cartographers and illustrators seem to be there just to add to the writter's awesomeness.... pffff... ;P
Superb work Crystal!

oh, BTW, I'm trying to raise funds for Wayfinder 3 and my PaizoCon trip and I'm putting all my originals from Sunken Empires (and some other KQ products) in here
Check it out, at least to see how the sketch looks like ;P

Looking forward to getting my hands on these, I've been dying to know more about the Azlanti since we finished Second Darkness.
Although...
Underdeep? Seriously? I hope we aren't going to Scarytown next, I here that place is a sh!thole. ;p
Keep up the good work everyone. I can't wait until my group has time to start on Kingmaker.

I would have gone with:
THE RISING SEE
The old timber ship moved between the lapis lazuli towers under the power of its oarsmen alone, the blood-red sails now emptied of any breeze that might have fuelled them. Bridges held aloft by art alone strained between their distances.
Elman the Explorer noticed something that the others did not. An increasingly many something’s that seemed to shadow their passage, drifting amongst the peaks of the tallest towers as their vessel moved forward with every stroke.
"Softly to the ballista Mister Ganel, we have predators above us in the battlements and eaves." His second moved away slowly to relay the order to the other crew.
DM Briefing: A city is flooded by increased ocean height. Though the towers extend a hundred feet or more above the Water they have already sacrificed an identical distance below the surface. The city is a hundred miles from the current coastline.
