The Wildsea - What Lurks in Darkness [ EDIT ]

Some three hundred years ago the empires of the world were toppled by a wave of fast growing greenery, a tide of rampant growth spilling from the West. This event, the Verdancy, gave rise to the world you’ll explore as you play - a titanic expanse of rustling waves and sturdy boughs known as the Wildsea.

Now chainsaw-driven ships cut their way across dense treetop waves, their engines powered by oilfruit, ropegolems, honey and pride. Their crews are a motley, humanity's weathered descendants rubbing shoulders with cactoid gunslingers, centipedal poets and silkclothed spider-colonies, humanesque slugs with driftwood bones and other, stranger things. Each has a role and a reason to be out on the Wildsea, and it’s their stories - your stories - that this game is designed to tell.

The Wildsea hungers and grows, roots still questing down into the world’s depths as its waves ripple with life. Spits of ancient earth and the heights of old-world monuments now serve as ports, cities, farms and jails, each with their own laws and ways. The years after the Wildsea’s arrival were harsh, and by the time the arts of sailing and air travel were rediscovered most old cultures had splintered into new, often unrecognisable forms.
