Beyond the Sea

There are few greater pleasures than a treasure map, a ship of one's own, and a brisk wind in the sails. Yet all sailors know that Lady Luck is a fickle mistress, with fortune preceding dispair like the wind before the storm. Port Brighton has long been considered as the center of civilization, at least by those who call it home. There are many amenities and even more intrigues and plots. A clever man might find himself in the service of Lord Brighton, but an even more clever man might ally himself with the Pirate King, dwelling in the shadows of the city. Beyond the sea are the islands of the world. Upon each rock the survivors struggle and earn their living, unearthing what riches they can from the time before the Cataclysm. It is said that a beggar could leave in the morning with a map and a spade, returning home with gold enough for a king. Some also say that such pursuits are a fool's errand, best left to pirates and heroes.
