The Story
In the Age of Piracy, a world exists where the stars don't guide sailors — the Windrose does. A mystical compass that points not north, but to destiny. Every captain who dares to chart its secrets finds themselves caught between warring factions, ancient powers, and the endless hunger of the sea itself.
An ancient navigational artifact that doesn't point north. It points to what the sailor needs most — whether fortune, ruin, or something in between.
Three pirate clans vie for control of the Windrose. The Crimson Tide, the Gilded Compass, and the Stormborn — each with their own agenda and methods.
30+ islands scattered across an ocean filled with danger. Some hold treasures beyond imagination — others hold horrors best left undisturbed.
