ASTRAL SEA
ASTRAL SEA
The space beyond spaces.
Every plane, every world, is surrounded by empty, airless darkness known as "Wildspace". To mortal and immortal creatures, this is often the last great barrier of their world, through which no one sane travels.
But unbeknownst to most grounded creatures, there exists a whole world unto its own beyond the wildspace, where this lawless vacuum slowly transforms into the Astral Sea - a realm of colours, magic and splendor.
Astral Sea is the great ocean which spans the universe, connecting planes and worlds, both material and immaterial. And on its crescent starwaves travel the great spelljammer ships - vessels that bring their crew from one world to another in search of adventure, riches and mysteries. Not content with just their own worlds, the crew of a spelljammer ship thrusts themselves into the danger between stars to find something they could not in their homeworld.
Of course, meddling in the business of other worlds is strictly forbidden. Those who have gained the advanced magics and technologies required to travel the Astral Sea should not interfere with the going-ons worlds that have not, or reveal that they indeed come from worlds beyond. Forces that govern these astral spaces do not look favourably upon those who disturb this fragile balance and enter worlds they did not originate from.
Indeed, Astral Sea is a realm traveled only by the brave or the foolhardy, or the desperate.
And then... there's you.
You, a poor soul who barely knows any of this - if indeed at all.
Captured by unknown creatures in their strange sailing ship that ploughs the clouds, you are imprisoned with other creatures - most which you have never even heard of before. And if this was not bad enough, soon enough the ship that captured you seems to have gotten involved in a battle of some sort. But then again, a battle such as this is a perfect chance to make your escape so you can travel back home.
Only... you are far away from home. Very far.
Farthest you have ever been.
You and a handful of others by your side are lost in thee Astral Sea with no knowledge of how to return home. The only thing ahead is the long road through the stars and mysterious spaces, holding onto a singular hope.
--- The Spelljammer.
The first spelljammer ship, said to be capable of bringing its captain anywhere he or she wishes. A Ship of Dreams, some say. But finding it is no easy task.
Thus, this is your Infinity Odyssey.
This is your long journey home together with unlikely companions.
