The Octopods of Tinten Islands is part of this debut launch that features eclectic avatars of dexterous octopods.

The Genesis Edition

The genesis edition contains a stunning mix of 2089 algorithmically generated octopods with distinctive traits. Each trait has been meticulously hand crafted and procedurally layered to form a unique ERC-721 NFT token that is minted on the Polygon blockchain.

Plotline: Octopodes of Tinten Islands

The Octopods belong to 7 mythical clans and have been recently discovered around Tinten Archipelago — a Web3-powered Metaverse project. Each clan features a unique set of character traits that provide an exciting backstory to the genesis edition of the Secret Sea Society collection.

Kraken

Krakens are primordial clans to settle in the Tinten Archipelago. The old legend says Krakens split up into diverse legions as they grew in population. The six chieftains in charge of the Krakens started a war with each other to rule over the islands. They have been at war for over two centuries before vanishing off without a trace, leaving behind The Secret Book of the Cephalopody.

Abaia

Abaians are the primitive clans that flourished in the Sea of Notwaki near Pifuencos. Abaians are fierce hunters and skilled shapeshifters. They use their camouflage as a defence to blend in with their surroundings and mask their location, identity, and movement. Abaians shapeshifter powers come from the Mask of the Blue God — an ancient artifact believed to be lost.

Kelpie

Kelpies are adverturous explorers and are descendants of the Abaian clan. Kelpies established their kingdom in The Sea of Kailani near kingdom of Burtocenia centuries ago and believe that there is another realm full of riches and peace. The Kelpies have been scavenging the depth of the oceans around the Tinten islands in search of ancient artifacts. They are trying to unite the Mask of the Blue God, the Book of the Cephalopody, and the Holy Trident so they can open the door to the new world.
