Wind blows o'er the rough seas,
Putting lost souls at ease.
When the heavens turn grey,
Wise men lay anchor and stay.

In the year 5125, the mana storms that had long made the southern seas impassable began to recede for the first time in living memory, opening access to waters that had been unreachable for generations. Among the most significant developments was the newfound ability to reach the Isle of Ornath without the aid of Chronomages, something previously thought impossible without their assistance.

The shift sparked excitement among sailors, cartographers, and traders, who saw opportunity in the newly navigable southern routes. For nearly a year, the seas remained relatively calm, and cautious optimism began to take hold among those eager to explore the newly opened waters.

Then something changed. Strange and powerful storms have begun to rise from the seas east of Ornath, traveling west and north toward the continent of Elanith. Unlike the conventional storms of the region, these disturbances carry an unsettling and unnatural quality, stirring unease among seasoned mariners and scholars alike. Whether they are a sign that the mana storms are returning, or something else entirely, remains unknown.

The southern seas, so recently full of promise and possibility, are beginning to feel dangerous once more.
