Synopsis

It’s impossible to know what horrors might lurk in the fog.
Countless mysteries and treasures can be found on the Fractured Sea, but the eldritch threats hidden in its depths were once enough to halt a war. After decades of innovation, the creation of the steam engine drives ships across the tumultuous waters once more, restarting the conflict.
Still, the fate of everything that roams the Fractured Sea remains the same. Anyone who falls into its frosty waters will find themself wandering the waves, trapped in an unwanted eternal life.
Even the last hope of a once-great power, a young man summoned from an uncorrupted future, must eventually join the specters of the waves.It’s what he encounters before then that creates a legend…
And afterwards, a nightmare.-
Slow burn, focus on action/adventure over horror. Slow burn, it will take a while before the main character is doing anything related to the inbound war.
Mystery/Lovecraftian horror progression.
