The Lost Archipelago rests upon the waters from countless worlds, a nexus where a Dark Maelstrom surges, pulling forth crews from diverse realms and species.
It is a realm of mystery and isolation, where secrets of an ancient civilization and dark elder forces intertwine, beckoning explorers into a domain where boundaries of reason and sanity begin to wane.
Your seafaring warband, known as a crew, was swallowed by a maleficent vortex and battered by storms of black lightning, shipwrecked.

Shipwrecked on the shore of an unknown island your situation seems abysmal.
The Maelstrom corrupts. Flesh turns to fur. Gils form. Limbs contort. Nails grow to claws. Organs shift. Ligaments tear and reform. Pain courses throughout your evolving form.
A savage jungle sprawls before you. Battered by rain, desperation and hunger takes hold in your crew. The animal is surging up in them. You are no longer man, nor are you beast, but an unstable combination of both.
Search for a reason and a way home.
Hope or you cannot live.
Adapt or die.
