Hundreds of years ago, a powerful empire sent expeditions to the new world hoping to expand their borders. They found a cursed land filled with terrible monsters and death. The empire crumbled into warring states and then nothing. From ruin and chaos Eventide Company arose, a merchant cartel of considerable wealth and power. They’ve set their sights on the new world, sending waves of ships to find gold, resources and a land to create a nation.
Venture to the Midnight Isles, landing in the local hamlet of Promise.
The lands that lie west, across the great sea, are uncharted. The Eventide Company has spent a fortune on a expedition to map, loot and tame it. You are part of that expedition.
