Mindwake

Every home floats, and every horizon is a promise.

Overview

Mindwake is a water-covered world where every home, farm, and market must float. The flood swallowed the old coasts within living memory, and its survivors built communities from ships, rooftops, and salvaged timber. Fresh water and sound hulls matter more than crowns. Sailors still tell of dry land beyond the horizon, but each expedition risks the hands and supplies its home needs. The sea gives food and passage, yet never promises either.

The world

ShapeA round world
What it is likeMindwake is a spherical world whose continents and islands lie beneath a global ocean, leaving only floating settlements and the highest roofs above water.
How people travelShips follow currents, winds, and remembered routes; long voyages depend on safe anchorages, rain stores, and surviving storms.
Themes

Heroic survival, Shared scarcity, Exploration, Hope under pressure

Laws of the world

The rules

MagicMagic is common enough for healers, weather-readers, and practical charms; powerful spells can save a vessel but cannot command the sea or make land.
TechnologyMedieval tools and craft endure, adapted to life aboard rafts, ships, and lashed-together structures.
Death and soulsThe dead are given to the sea in weighted shrouds; custom says their souls travel beneath the waves to a quiet shore no living sailor has found.

Special rules

No known magic can create lasting dry ground.
Fresh rainwater is precious, and most floating settlements treat its waste as a serious crime.

The skies

SkiesOpen water fills every horizon; squalls can hide the sun for days, and at night the moon throws a broken path of light across the waves.
Moons and stars

The Sun, The Moon

SeasonsPeople count days by sunrise and mark the year by storm seasons, when prevailing winds shift and safe routes change.

Ages

3 ages
Floating communities trade, feud, and make law on the water, while each generation inherits the search for land and the cost of keeping hope alive.
