[Island World] [Industrial Development] [Alternate Medieval Setting] [Maritime Trade] A hundred years ago, Chaos surged up from the depths, while Order took root across the islands. Two kinds of magic fought over the boundary between land and sea, and countless islands lay scattered across the boundless ocean. The sea was both a passage and a barrier. News traveled slowly, supplies were often scarce, and the front against Chaos was long, with nowhere to retreat. A single storm could cut off the food supply. One plague could destroy an entire island. And the Chaos sea beasts lurking in the deep watched the lives of Order with predatory eyes.

A steel behemoth born of industrial civilization had quietly opened its eyes on the ocean’s edge.
