BlackTide; Legends of the Open Sea.
🌊 The World
The world of Blacktide is an endless ocean scattered with forgotten islands, dangerous ports, ancient ruins, and territories controlled by pirate crews. There are no official borders on the sea. The strongest crews make the rules. Merchant ships disappear between islands. Pirate captains fight over legendary treasure. Navy fleets patrol the major trade routes. And somewhere beyond the known waters lies a region sailors call The Drowned Horizon, a place that supposedly doesn't appear on any map.
Every character has a reason to sail: Some want gold. Some want freedom. Some are running from their past. Some want revenge. And some are searching for something that may not even exist.

Pirate ships crowd the harbor, their flags snapping in the salty wind. Merchants shout over one another, sailors haul crates across weathered docks, and taverns spill music and laughter into the streets.
