Beyond Gullet Cove, past the Isle of Dogs, lies the floating shanty town of Flotsam. Built from lashed-together ship hulls and floating debris, Flotsam is the last frontier at the edge of the Faraway Sea.
Banked by walls of impenetrable fog, edged with frenzied lightning, the Faraway Sea is a place of wonder, magic, and terrible danger. For you see, beyond the mist and the storms lies an endless chain of islands. Impossible islands, ever-changing, suffused with magic, chaos, and mystery.
When the great Orrery in Flotsam’s tower blazes with light, the floating town fills with groups of adventurers vying for contracts and bickering over supplies.
Why? Because that strange light heralds the arrival of a new island — for a time, at least. Every island is different, but they all hold secrets, strange inhabitants, deadly monsters, and riches. Such riches!
Gaining those riches is far from easy. After all, in a realm where animals talk, trees can walk, and rocks might eat you alive, the cost of treasures can prove great indeed. One mustn’t linger too long on an island, so the Flotsam saying goes, or the island won’t let you go.
But for those courageous and quick enough, glory can be found in the Faraway Sea!
