STORY

Arctide – takes place in the world of the Endless Sea, a planet mostly filled with oceans. Human civilization has thrived upon small to medium islands and atolls throughout the Endless Sea.

Our story takes place on the Windy Atoll upon which sits the city-state kingdom of Aquapolis (Old name: Marapolis). For as long as the Merchant city-state remembers “Wind” - powered Aquapolis from the Trade houses of Sui-Kona to the shipyards of Neptune’s Wharf. It brought wealth and power to the city, but that all changed when the coming of the Arctide Event disrupted the whole Ecosystem of the Endless Sea, causing the once strong winds that traveled through the Windy Atoll to settle into a whimper.

The “Arctide” reveals itself as a massive mysterious white triangle floating through the skies. Aquapolis withers as industry grinds to a halt; desperate the City Council forms “Guild of Lightning Hunters” sending forth brave Lightning Hunters into uncharted waters and restless oceans filled with massive storms and explosive lightning.

Armed with flying boats and arrester masts, these young sailors scour the oceans for energy – collecting them into Capacitor Pods. The city decided to prevent a delay on energy delivery decided to build floating outposts to help the hunters in their quest to restore the Great City-State of Aquapolis.

Our story begins 50 years after the wind has stopped. The great city still sees frequent blackouts and industry is barely hanging on. The once bustling harbor has become a sleepy village. The massive sail windmills barely spin just a slight billowing of the tattered cloth.
