Hazine
Rumors of a fleet gathering in the Free Cities of Liman Korsan have brought Bandits, Mercenaries, Scholars and Missionaries from all across the mainland with promises of untold riches and everlasting glory. You have found yourself aboard one of these sailing ships headed for the far off and alien lands of Hazine as part of an expeditionary force to recover treasures thought to lay hidden among jungle ruins and sunken vaults.
The mysterious benefactors of this expedition, Winya Palurin Collective, have arranged safe passage with the Kraken, Uuvanamo Chok Kotu, that dominates the waters between the mainland and Hazine. The three month journey across the choppy ocean waves has taken you to many small islands for re-supply before traversing the vast stretch of open ocean. This part of the journey is mostly uneventful, the Kraken’s minions keeping aquatic monsters and Pirates away. However, as the third month comes to an end the Sun begins to dim in the sky until, as land is spotted days later, the noonday Sun becomes no brighter than a full moon. By the time the fleet puts down anchor, auroras are seen dancing across a dark and starry sky.
The fleet laid anchor near a protected bay in one of Hazine’s northern most islands. A crescent shaped beach of brilliant purple sands and crystal-clear waters. The main vessels anchor in shallower waters away from the coast, and a small group of explorers will be lowered onto rowboats and head into the bay at dawn to assess threats and set up a beach head for the rest of the fleet.
