Arion Lord of Atlantis 1982 - Newsstand #21

The Plot: "Realm of the Sea-God"

Arion and his crew, including Lady Chian and Wyynde, are traveling aboard the Black Unicorn , a formidable pirate vessel.

• The Sea-God's Wrath: The crew encounters Chaon, the capricious Lord of Chaos who often manifests as a sea-god or a force of oceanic destruction. Chaon is one of Arion’s most persistent and dangerous foils, representing the wild, untamable nature of the world that Arion tries to protect with his "Order" magic.
• The Monster of the Deep: The issue features a massive ship-to-ship battle that is interrupted by a colossal sea beast summoned by Chaon. This forces Arion to use his magic not just for combat, but for environmental control—trying to keep the Black Unicorn afloat against impossible odds.
• The Shifting Tone: While the previous "City of the Dead" arc was claustrophobic and gothic, #21 opens the world back up. It emphasizes the "Sword" in "Sword and Sorcery," with Lady Chian taking a lead role in defending the ship against boarding parties of sea-spawned marauders.
