I expressed myself badly is not that I like trauma per se is more that I like the storytelling possibilities that it opens and they happen to involve trauma(I like to see characters dealing with it and growing stronger from it).
I also thought that the people who destroyed Mythshore were only trying to get new weaponry, but the more I think about how they're always involved with death or the sea in some way... I find that the Lovecraftian vibes are strong with them.
