Five Blood Contract

The Broken Isles are like a giant web torn apart by the gods, floating on the endless sea. The island is centered on the maelstrom where the Dragon Bone Temple is located, and stretches out in all directions like spokes - the gray salt kingdom in the north is covered with eternal hoarfrost, and the ice-skinned sea beasts howl among the gray rock cliffs; the Kirigakure Sea in the east never sees the sky all year round, and the plankton skeleton as big as a city is in the thick fog. Slowly drifting in the middle; the volcanic islands in the south are spewing black smoke and sulfur, and the blood and sweat of slaves water the black fertile soil along the magma river; the crystal salt flats in the west are a dazzling white wasteland, with hundreds of millions of years of salt crystallization burning the eyes of everyone who dares to set foot in the sun. And in the center of it all is the Borderlands - the Central Islands, a labyrinth of countless reefs and islands, where pirates, smugglers, desperadoes and bankrupt nobles drink, lie and wait for the next opportunity to gamble their lives. Legend has it that every three hundred years, the "blood moon tide" will weaken the star gate that seals the divine remains in the maelstrom, and that moment is approaching...
