A southeast Asian inspired seafaring setting
The Sea of Lilies Awaits
“I see a sea of lily white sails, I smell the scent of salt and spice. I see sailors with dancing blades flashing in the burning sun, cold iron that spits naked flame as they kill and kill and kill. I hear the roar of cannonade and the scream of ancient spells. I see magic papers torn to summon torrents of ice while a great white fanged beast stalks at a captain’s side. I see a ring with a blood red stone, a ship made of lies, a woman eating human flesh, and a man with scales for skin. I see a lost son, a tortured crew, a blinding destiny and above it all I see the depths. It calls to me… Have you seen the same?”
The world has changed, loyalty now stands on the wayside of glorious progress. What place is there here for heroes in the churning machinery and black powered weapons of Trothen. Perhaps the need for heroes is greater than ever in this world where all lives are reduced to price.
Trothen is a segmented Island world with heavy reliance on seafaring and technology. The powerful The Baghai Company rules the waves though its power is waning. bit by bit its farthest colonies succumb to the encroachment of other forces. How long can the company remain and what will happen when there is no one to hold back the deadly horde of cannibalistic Hathri. To the far east, kingdoms rise in the absence of a fallen empire each one pressing their claims for power. The waves await you, where will you sail?
