The World

The Farwake is a mostly oceanic world where scattered islands preserve fragments of cultures that crossed the sea generations ago. Every harbor carries names borrowed from a lost homeland or taken from something settlers destroyed to survive. Mythic magic rises from the deep, and the ocean is not merely dangerous but watchful. Trade, faith, raiding, and exploration bind the islands together while a rising sea slowly erases the oldest settlements.

Form · Sphere

Farwake is a spherical planet dominated by one deep, unforgiving ocean and scattered chains of volcanic, tropical, temperate, and polar islands.

Traversal

Travel is chiefly by sail, coastal craft, and magical tide routes; currents, storms, reefs, and sea monsters make every crossing a meaningful expedition.

Powers of the World

The Tidecallers

Maritime religious order

The Tidecallers seek to map and awaken the deep currents, believing controlled magic can protect the islands from the rising sea.

The Crowned Isles

Island confederacy

The Crowned Isles want a single sea law enforced by tribute, conscription, and fortified harbors before independent islands become impossible to govern.

The Deepwardens

Secretive guardian order

The Deepwardens guard drowned ruins and suppress knowledge of the oldest sea powers, even when concealment condemns communities to repeat past mistakes.

The Red Sails

Raider fleet

The Red Sails want to break the harbor leagues, seize food routes, and turn the coming crisis into a permanent age of raiding.

The Ages

  1. The Homeward Age

    First Era

    Founding fleets crossed from a distant mainland and named their settlements after lost homeland places, even when the islands had no roads, rivers, or familiar seasons.

  2. The Cleared Age

    Second Era

    Island communities survived by draining marshes, burning scrub, cutting forests, and raising walls against raiders, leaving old work camps and ruined clearings beneath later towns.

  3. The High Tide Age

    Third Era

    Mythic magic returned through the sea, empowering navigators, storm priests, giant hunters, and ambitious rulers while making voyages longer, stranger, and more dangerous.

  4. The Unmoored Age

    Current Era

    The ocean is rising around ancient islands, trade leagues are breaking apart, and every power seeks the legendary means to command the deep before their homes disappear.

Plot Hooks

The Fleet That Came Back

Exploration

A fleet returns after three years missing, carrying survivors who insist the world has another ocean beneath this one.

The City Between Tides

Discovery

A drowned city surfaces for one moon-cycle, offering treasure, forbidden spells, and proof that the islands were built atop an older civilization.

The Empty Passage

Escort

Several rival ports hire the party to escort grain through waters where every ship has vanished without wreckage.

The Prison Below

Mystery

A dying tide priest claims the rising sea is not a disaster but a prison breaking open beneath the world.

Secrets

The Farwake was built on the roof of a buried ocean.

Discovery · Ancient tide marks appear beneath the floors of the oldest inland temples.

Impact · The islands are not rising from the sea; the entire ocean is descending into a vast hollow world below.

The moon is an ancient mechanism controlling the world's waters.

Discovery · Deepwardens carry fragments of a map that fits no surface coastline but matches the scars on the moon.

Impact · The White Moon may be a sealed gate, and opening it could either drain the deep or flood the sky.

The sea is storing the memories of the drowned for a purpose.

Discovery · Souls of drowned sailors sometimes repeat the same sentence in different languages.

Impact · The dead are being gathered by a hidden power, and enough collected souls could give it a body.
