The fragile peace has shattered.

Wouldn't it be magical indeed to sail the ocean free?
But oceans deep in which ships do sink make it but a dream.

The world is a continent, one of four, that are at the center of a bowl-shaped ocean. The continents shoot up from the bowl's basin, and the edges of the continents are terrifying cliffs. The land-based people fear the ocean, because falling to the ocean means certain death, and they never travel beyond the few islands surrounding their land.

Until recently, the five countries had been living in harmony. However, after missionaries that were sent by Silhurst to Hingmett died under mysterious circumstances, war was declared between the two countries and the world was plunged into a chaos involving secret alliances and agendas.

Meanwhile, recently Avrice sent a group of adventurers to gather six items of power. As of yet, they don't know what these ancient artifacts are, beyond that united they could "clean the land of the rising chaos." As a response, Hingmett has sent out a party to stop this group, though the reasoning behind this action is unknown.
