The role-play world set in the future after Mother Nature devastated land masses and countries, leaving our once blue, green and brown globe nothing but a deep blue ball full of treacherous oceans and mysterious depths. However, human life is far from over – some managed to survive the chaotic times of tsunamis and hurricanes and fought to live on. Small ports were built, trades set up, and soon the memory of dry land had been considered a tall tale, a ridiculous myth, and an entertaining idea. Explorers have set out to look for dry land, but only a few have ever returned to speak of their findings.
"There is nothing; no beach in sight. No grass, no sand, no palm trees reaching for the heavens. Just the blue ocean and the ever changing sky," they'd tell their wives and their kids.
But what happened to the others? Have they found dry land and did not want to spoil its beauty by spreading the word? Or were they savagely killed by desperate criminals; their ships taken over and their journeys ended? Unfortunately, the world may never know. And, much like dry land, the memories are soon forgotten.
It is human nature to dwell on the past and wonder "What if?", "Why?", and "How?", but it is survival instinct that tells us to move on: To keep on living and fighting for our food and other basic necessities in our life. So that is what society did; moved on. As people gradually got back on their feet, adapted to the sea and made new homes for themselves, trade came about and agriculture evolved. As paper money was useless between different cultures, doubloons (any bit of gold weighing around 5 grams) became the new currency, and new advancements come about slowly.
