Shisui of the Violet Tides

Hidden away at the bottom of the Turquoise Trench, this magnificent palace is home to the Ruby Princess, leader of those Raen who dwell beneath the waves. While its beauty can be appreciated from afar, special permission is required to enter the grounds─a privilege seldom granted.

Shisui of the Violet Tides is a landmark in The Turquoise Trench, The Ruby Sea.

Additional Information

紫水 is literally "violet water" in Japanese. There is quite a bit of redundancy in the Japanese name for this dungeon: "海底宮殿 紫水宮"
Breaking it down:

  • 海底 Seafloor
  • 宮殿 Palace (both characters alone can also just mean palace)
  • 紫水 Violet water (as a proper noun)
  • Palace (again)

It's worth noting that the last character 宮 has multiple senses and can also mean "shrine." Lodestone does not provide any furigana so it is difficult to know what reading is meant.

The English name somewhat echos the redundancy, as the part that sounds like "Shisui" in Japanese is the part that means "violet tides."
