Marevast: A World of Broken Seas

The world of Marevast was not always fractured. Once, it was a single, boundless ocean, with islands connected by trade, unity, and shared culture. The seafarers of old prospered, their ships laden with treasures and knowledge. Great fleets roamed the endless waters, bringing people together, celebrating life, and praising the sea gods who nurtured their world. For centuries, Marevast was a utopia upon the waves. But prosperity breeds ambition, and ambition turned to greed. In their pursuit of dominance over the ocean’s treasures, rival factions built colossal machines of war and plundered the ocean’s depths with reckless abandon. The delicate balance of Marevast was shattered as the greed of its people ignited the Wrath of Typhon, the ancient Sea God who safeguarded the harmony of the seas.Typhon, betrayed by those he once protected, unleashed his fury. In a single, catastrophic event known as the Sundering Tide, he split the great ocean into isolated seas, separating the islands and sinking the mightiest fleets. A curse was placed upon the waters: storms that never ceased, whirlpools that swallowed ships whole, and monsters that lurked in the dark abyss. The Age of Unity ended, and the Age of Isolation began.Generations passed, and the people of Marevast adapted to their scattered lives. They rebuilt their ships, but no longer ventured far. Trade routes became whispers of legend, and the treasures of the ocean were forgotten. The gods faded from memory, and Marevast became a quiet, divided world.But the curse was not eternal. Typhon, moved by the resilience of a few loyal seafarers who still honored the old ways, began to ease the storms. A new generation of daring sailors arose—pirates, treasure hunters, and adventurers seeking to reclaim the glories of the past. These brave souls discovered relics of the old world, empowered by Typhon’s lingering magic, and began to piece together the lost secrets of Marevast.Now, in the dawn of the Age of Sail, the oceans beckon once more. Alliances are forged, battles rage, and treasures beyond imagination await those bold enough to claim them. Welcome, adventurer, to the uncharted seas of Marevast.
