The Shattersea
Rule the waves—or vanish between ports
The Shattersea is a sprawling open-ocean realm of island kingdoms, merchant republics, colonies, and free ports, all tied together by trade and fear of what sails at night. In 1726, wealth moves by ship, so your story runs on routes, harbors, papers, and reputation as much as cannons. Expect shifting jurisdictions, uneasy deals, and constant pressure from merchants, privateers, smugglers, naval patrols, and pirates. In play, you’ll navigate crowded seas, negotiate for dockspace, investigate ruins and lost goods, and stake claims where control is never guaranteed.
