Description

Aethertide is a world of endless ocean and unraveling legacy. There are no continents here only archipelagos forged from the bones of drowned empires, drifting isles anchored by lightning, and reefs grown from secrets no one remembers planting. Pirates rule like kings, elemental cults shape the weather like scripture, and leviathan hunters carve gods from the sea’s belly. Ships are cities. Storms are law. Treasure maps don’t just lead to gold they hum with magic, madness, and old blood oaths

Author's Note

Welcome to Aethertide, a world-ocean of drifting isles, storm-bound myths, and seafaring legends. I’m Alexein, creator of this setting. Aethertide is my love letter to high fantasy and nautical chaos where every map leads somewhere dangerous, and every character has salt in their blood. This world is meant to be explored with curiosity, reverence, and a little fear. I hope you lose your way in the mists and find something unforgettable. I leave you with a phrase i keep in my heart “Some of us sail these imagined seas not to escape the world but to better survive it.” Starting Locations: 🏴 Red Sail Cay: A fast-paced pirate haven full of betrayal, bounties, and shifting alliances. Ideal for players who want to explore Free Keys politics, smuggling, and backstabbing freedom. 🪸 Pearlspire: A noble and mystical start rooted in diplomacy, prophecy, and ancient pacts. Perfect for players who enjoy high society, sea-elf intrigue, and destiny-driven campaigns. 🏙️ Tidewatch City: A faction-rich sandbox hub where every deal echoes across the sea. Great for open-world adventuring, neutral ground espionage, and contract-driven missions. 🐋 The Giggling Deep: A whimsical and strange start aboard a tavern atop a leviathan. Excellent for quirky roleplay, merchant-political plots, and mid-ocean chaos with a smile. 🩸 Bloodtide Council Isle (Evil): A ruthless entry point for villain-aligned parties or power-seekers. Sets up a darker tone tied to the Black Nine, pirate rule, and rising through blood and manipulation. 🌫️Whisperstone Shoal: A meditative and mystical beginning tied to the Tidecallers of Nami no Kuni. Perfect for characters who seek discipline, healing, and the secrets of the Three Tides, with the sea mist itself as both sanctuary and trial.
