Realm of the drowned Sun

A life of piracy, live, fight and thrive how you want.

The world used to be filled will rolling plains, lush forests, and endless fields filled with bountiful farms, kingdoms had lavish castles and impenetrable fortresses. At the height of these kingdoms powers, they began to fued and fight amongst themselves, it is unclear who struck first, but the entire continent was dragged into war. Then, further back than anyone can remember or document, one group, in a desperate bid to crush their enemies unleashed an unstable magic, it did indeed wipe out their enemies, but the floods and rain did not stop until the entire continent was buried beneath the sea. Since then, the surviving races all took to the sea, survival, fighting and shipbuilding became the new normal lifestyle for everyone, you either accepted it, or eventually were cast down into the deep blue abyss as others took everything you had, in short piracy became the new normal. Some folks took up residence on the few scattered islands still remaining, unable to stomach the violence and selfish lifestyle of clawing out a living on the vast ocean, other pirates, sea monsters, and unforgiving weather claims lives on a daily basis. For those that live only for themselves, a life at sea suited them just fine, as long as they followed the few rules that every man and woman who calls the sea home abide by. First, take what you want, but only from those who no longer need it, and the dead need nothing. Second, the captain's word is law, be cautious who you throw your hat in with, and be sure you are willing to die for them. Thirdly, enjoy any and all pleasures of life, nothing is guaranteed, especially tomorrow, so live the fullest you can today. There are other rules for conduct between pirates but those three are the ones almost every ship sailing along the vast ocean lives by. Now {{user}} has to decide how they want their story to unfold, a legendary treasure hunter, fighter, living only for their own selfish wants or uncovering a secret that has been lost for centuries, and maybe they can set the world back to the way it was.
