The Story of Sealubbers

At the beginning of all things, there was a god named Asteros, the Starwright. Asteros had an obsession with stories: daring adventures, tragic betrayals, and foolish comedies. For ages he poured his imagination into the void, writing his stories into the stars themselves, painting the sky with constellations of epic tales.

But in time, the Starwright’s imagination ran dry. The stars grew dull and uninspired. His stories no longer stirred the heavens. For the best stories are not imagined: they are lived.

A good story is unpredictable. It takes shape as beings, each with strengths and flaws, collide in destiny. Some join together, others destroy each other. Ambition pushes them into danger for hope of reward. A good story is born from real life.

So Asteros knew what he must do. He created a world called Krucia: a crucible of seas, storms, islands, and gold. He filled it with mortals and gave them a single challenge:
Bring me ten thousand gold, and I will write your story into the stars forever.

To make things more interesting, Asteros gave each mortal a gift. Yours is the greatest of all: an immortal ship in a bottle. Uncork it, and the ship leaps to the waves, ready to sail. It cannot be destroyed. It will always return.

Now, across Krucia, mortals fight and scheme for their chance to be immortalized in the heavens. Some build fortunes through trade, sailing from port to port with holds full of goods. Others rise through politics, where power and gold are quietly won. Finally, there are those who take to plunder, tearing riches from the hands of others.

Asteros watches with anticipation, eager for the tale that unfolds.

When your story is written, what will the stars say about you?
