Crustacea

Crustacea, officially the Crabdom of Crustacea, is an ocean dwelling nation, founded during the very beginning of Abexilas on the 4th of April, 2024. Mostly inhabited by the indigenous Crab People, Crustacea is uniquely one of the very few sea nations in Stoneworks.

History
Crustacea can trace its roots back to Nom Island, a large mushroom island located in the middle of the north western ocean. Covered in mushrooms and isolated in the middle of the sea, Nom Island was home to only two different animals; mooshroom cows and the local crab population. Both animals fed off the local fauna. The cows ate off the mycelium, while the crabs directly fed off the Mushroom which dotted the island.

This had significant effects on both the cows and crabs. The mycelium caused the cows to grow mushrooms on their body and change the colour of their skin to that of a mushroom, red and white. Meanwhile, the[mushrooms began to change the crabs on an evolutionary level. They began developing sentience and transformed into a more humanoid figure. And thus, the Crab People were born from eating shrooms which this is why they call it Nom Island.
