In the third year of the arrival of the Weird Times, the first ship to reach Storm Corner in the Barren Lands, the Snow Moon, caused a great stir.
Each continent thought itself the only survivor, except for the shattered Lennon Islands.
The passengers aboard the Snow Moon cruise ship were a mixed bunch: penniless youths, desperate merchants, adventure-seeking explorers, nobles betting their last chips, and doctrine-spreading believers. Clearly, they all shared one common trait: the spirit of a gambler.
The timid and the cowardly wouldn't dare to cross continents during the Weird Times.
Once it was confirmed that the ship had set sail from the Vena Ice-Free Port and was carrying only humans, the passengers were given a warm welcome. The poor youths became honored guests of the nobles, merchants opened new trade routes, adventurers received generous spiritual rewards, nobles joined new circles, and believers established new churches.
