Since before the conquest of Auroria, Erenor’s vast ocean has been as much a home to its peoples as the continents they set sail from. Today, stalwart adventurers, cunning merchants, and dastardly pirates can be found on the Arcadian Sea from the southernmost waters of Halcyona Gulf to the contested Diamond Shores of the north. However, regardless of where they make berth or to which faction they pledge, any sailor worth their salt has felt the change in the wind and know that the seas have untold stories to tell. Legends of shadowy ships crewed by fallen sprits and the unfathomable treasure their rotting hulls carry. Rumors of new, undiscovered lands to race towards and claim as their own and the new rewards their appetite for exploration may bring them. Tales of galleons returning to drydock and being redesigned by their captains as tactically custom-built vessels and the rise of imposing armadas strengthened by their diversity.
An omen of Dread Prophecies is upon the races of Erenor. The Nuians, Elves, Firran, and Harani who call the ocean their home know their lives upon it shall change and that their survival depends on preparing for what awaits them on the darkening horizon.
