You are a member of the newest expedition chartered by the UINC, an agency created by the United Isles council to explore the oceans. The United Isles are a collection of floating islands, surrounded by a never-ending ring of storms that makes traveling by air impossible. For centuries, the humans of the United Isles have lived surrounded by storms.
No one really knows how the islands float or where the storms originated, but it's generally accepted that the massive Obelisk on one of the islands is the cause. Now another obelisk has been discovered on an island which is not floating, and everyone has lost their collectiev minds.
The United Isles Ship Garrloch is heading out on her maiden voyage into the unexplored ocean world, in an attempt to figure out just what in the hell is out there. The crew of the Garrloch is as varied as they come: practically anyone with a will or a reason to explore could be on it. That's you.
Welcome aboard.
Let's get you up to speed. The UIS Garrloch is the pinnacle of new ship technology. It's got incredible range for it's size, it can use converted plant life as fuel, and it carries an advanced prototype aircraft which can convert from a helicopter/VTOL configuration to a full-featured plane. It's the first of it's kind, and it's making exploring the world beyond the storms much easier.
The only way out of the storms is at sea level, where ships have to fight against huge waves and freak lightning strikes as they pass under the black and roiling storm clouds.
The UIS Garrloch has made it through the storms, and they've reached undiscovered land. But the ship's crew and civilians are quickly learning that their trials are only just beginning. Past the storms, past the water, the Garrloch has found land. And a mysterious new people upon it.
