Welcome to the world of Ossvien, a world that is vastly covered in ocean with only three major continents yet many small grouping of islands. This world is very much fantasy driven with many unique races and magic. Technology is equivalent to that of the Golden Age of Piracy and yet the world is thriving. There are large port towns and trade happening daily as sailing the oceans is one of the most popular jobs. With this, however, comes pirates. In this world, pirates even have their own community, living on two islands that are set between the three continents. They elect a Pirate King or Queen and although they don’t have a stable government, they do have a loosely based code they live by.

The continents have their own ruling powers as well along with militaries and naval fleets. Pirates are a great nuisance, however when you have a large continent to rule you may often overlook the acts of piracy. Especially when you may have some political unrest within your borders that seems to take up most of your time. There are many people who seem to be well off, yet there are also those poor and getting no help from the richer folk. So often they have to turn to other means to survive. That often involves joining a pirate crew or selling your child off to a merchant ship.

Our story starts with the disappearance of the merchant ship, the Arcadian. This ship has gone missing on its journey from the coast of Linfort to the continent of Glasston. Rumor has it that it was carrying a vast majority of riches along with the bride and future queen of the Glasstonian empires heir. The seas are a dangerous place, being plagued with many pirate ships looking to rob any unfortunate merchant ship that they come across. It isn’t often, however, that the pirates will actually sink a merchant ship and often times that ship will end up at its destination at one point or another.

When the Arcadian never showed up in Glasston people began to worry about what had happened to them. Had pirates actually disposed of the ship and was everything lost? Or had something far more foul happened to the ship? They did have to sail past the Shadowmount Isles, a place many ships tried to avoid, even pirates. There was something dark about these islands, something that many who’d survived the journey through them say they fear. They explain it as a dark, ominous energy coming off of them. Some have even been rumored to be driven mad from it. It isn’t uncommon for ships to go missing around their either.

Soon the disappearance of the Arcadian had become known to the world and many began to seek out what happened to it. Pirates wished to find the ship for the treasures it was rumored to carry while the Glasstonian’s sent out a naval ship in hopes of recovering the lost riches and hopefully the future queen. Only the bravest are willing to sail into the Shadowmount Isles, or perhaps it’s the stupid.

We will follow the pirate ship, Mermaid’s Fortune, and the Glasstonian naval ship, The Avalon Avenger, as they both set off to search for the Arcadian. You can choose to be on either ship and any race. The pirates are hoping to find the ship for a big fat payday while the naval ship is looking to recover what was lost to their empire. They will all be sailing towards the Shadowmount Isles and there's a high chance they may come across each other among other dangers.



Hello! So this is an RP I started awhile ago, but it has yet to take off and I'm really wanting it to. We've got a discord and a few very active people, but we're in search for a few more to go on this daring adventure. There's lots of different possibilities for characters and I'm pretty open to anything. So if you're interested in sailing the seas in a fantasy setting please come join us!
