Plot:
Long ago, when the realm was still young, the world had only one face to look at for protection, for comfort, for… literally anything they would ask out of a God. And it was a big, scary fish thing. In fact, it was a whole legion of scary fish things. These were called Aboleths, and they had controlled the minds of the people itself to convince them that they are the one and only God.
However, much like all stories involving false Gods, the real Gods took offense. Some wanted to free them, of course, but others wish to enslave them for themselves. Nevertheless, they realized that they had a common enemy. And so, for the first time in that realm, both good and evil Gods teamed up to liberate them from the threat that is the Aboleth Pantheon.
Due to how powerful these Gods are as a force, the battle took only forty days before all the Aboleths were banished to the Elemental Plane of Water. However, the Aboleths were huge fans of the saying “Take your ball and go home”. And so, they opened a portal and allowed the water to flow from the Water Plane over to the world they lorded over.
The result was the entire place being flooded. Everyone would have died had it not been for the last minute intervention of Ben-hadar, Elemental Prince of Good Water, who diverted the water away from most of the land. But the damage was done. The lands were no longer the same. What were once huge, dominant nations became small islands.
The Gods allowed the people of the realm to worship them as thanks for freeing them from the Aboleths’ mind control. However, there was still the scars it had. A century has passed since the Aboleth War. While humanity withered away and gave birth to a new, yet naïve generation, those who can live past a century could remember the scars and guide this new generation.
There was still the matter at hand: without the Aboleths to guide them and the Gods only assisting in the background, everyone had no idea what to do. Eventually, people created nations from the islands they were spared on. Some were made to bring law to a world without order, but others were made to revel in the chaos it created.
However, there was a massive sea to explore, and it is home to Pirates and Privateers alike. Your character is among these people. This is their story of how they survived this new frontier. Who will your character be? How will they cope with this new world? And would you accept the call of the ocean?

Do you guys wanna be all in a pirate crew or have a small adventure uniting you all?
