The world made them miserable.
Luckily for them, misery loves company.

It takes skill to survive in Panagea. Generations of existence separate the land of iron and steam into two classes: the privileged and the poor. If you can survive the thinning oxygen and the natural disasters, you just might live long enough to die of starvation.

Soldiers and monks. Thieves and orphans. Murderers and derelicts. Follow nine different lives facing one difficult choice: transform Panagea from a world of coal dust and cruelty into something better? Or climb aboard the ship of an immortal pirate captain and raise a giant middle finger to the world that let them rot?

The ocean may be just the thing to keep them from drowning. One thing is certain: smooth seas never made a skilled sailor.
