Welcome, pioneers.

By order of the Executive Board, you are summoned to chart the Sunken Wastes—a sun-scorched continent across the Western Ocean. Every mapped canyon, cataloged ruin, and secured landmark furthers the march of progress. Map the horizon, protect our outposts, and your efforts will be rewarded with wealth, land titles, and renown.

You are a member of the Explorers' Guild, an organization dedicated to mapping the world’s untamed reaches. Everyone has a reason for joining: searching for a lost expedition, seeking a rare catalyst, or simply chasing the thrill of unearthing ancient secrets.

Your journey brings you to Westport, a frontier harbor the Guild established as its staging ground for the uncharted West. Beyond the town’s timber walls stretches the Sunken Wastes—a vast, sunbaked desert waiting to be conquered.

Yet beneath the Guild’s noble rhetoric lies cold exploitation. This expedition was not funded purely out of academic curiosity. What the Executive Board truly seeks is hidden deep within the sands—a secret you will only uncover if you survive the Wastes.
