The Setting
|
You play a daring ship crew fighting for a place in the riches and wars of ocean trade.
The game takes place in the subtropical region of the Desideria Sea. This sea is the central heartbeat of transport, trade, and cultural exchange between all three continents of the world. Two generations ago, the region was invaded by mysterious Sea Raiders, not-quite human creatures who introduced Renaissance technology to an Iron Age world. It has been fifty years since humans fought back these creatures, and in that time they have unlocked numerous secrets of their advanced technology, catapulting a mystical world into a mechanical future. This period of peace and invention spurred on a new level of trade and exploration. The sea offers the promise of endless wealth for those with martial power, and constant threat of abduction and ransom for those without a patron's protection. And as the wealthiest merchant houses rise in power, they began to push against the confines of the treaties made to defeat the Sea Raiders. While most still hide behind hiring privateers, some fear a new age of piracy is on the horizon. The mark of the supernatural has not receded completely from the region. Deadly monsters live in the deep, and even the most advanced weaponry will not save an unprepared crew. You play to find out if you can thrive amidst the teeming threats of the ocean: competing pirate fleets, corrupt government patrols, marine cults, lost islands, and lethal sea creatures, all while the crew members are torn between their vices and ambitious drives.
