Yes! That was exactly what I was thinking. I can see different variations happening for many different reasons. I just normally only see one kind though. I hope there is more variety some day.

You are right though, there deffo has to be a reason. If there isn't one then you don't really have a world you're building, but rather a cardboard box, just as weak and just as boring.

Thank you for indulging me, by the way. I really do appreciate your insight.

Stuff like this is fun!

Now I'm trying to think of what merfolk would want from the surface even. Like metals and tech seem like the obvious answer but there's no reason for them to take it if most of it would corrode or not function without heat/power/electricity. Gold and gems and things might make sense because they're sparkly and would serve as currency and commodities.

Food, maybe? But lots of food also gets ruined if you dump a bunch of seawater in it. Fruit, maybe? Raiding entire villages to get apples would be pretty funny.

This is assuming they'd be keeping the underwater civilization as their "main" hub, though...

Maybe they want land for weird research? Or maybe something on land can destroy the thing that is hunting them?

I don't see why they couldn't make a small island as maybe "part" of their main hub? That way they can get kinda the best of both worlds.
