Beyond the endless blue of the Southern Sea lies Canyon Myst—an uncharted island of myth and legend. Hidden terraces and fog-lit ravines shelter a settlement guarded by the fae, who stand in quiet partnership with shipwrecked humans that became the village’s first “Mystics.” Once an ancient utopia, the canyon’s old world was sealed beneath volcanic glass and deep aquatic caverns after a cataclysmic eruption.
Here the Law of Exchange rules every bargain: nothing is given without something taken in return. Time is the island’s true currency—time displacement stretches seconds, unspools hours, and rearranges memory. The island keeps score; shortcuts borrow from the future, and every gift expects an answer.
When the crew of the Nereid crash on Canyon Myst seeking repairs and supplies, they find more than safe harbor. Treasure glitters in caverns and along faulted stone, but the Mystics’ warnings are easy to ignore, and consequences arrive on their own schedule. Engines soften to whispers; even airships drift in uncertain, stripped of cargo and certainty alike.
Begin the reckoning in Episode 5 and follow the bargains that shape their fate in Episode 6 and beyond—where “time is the only treasure” and the Law of Exchange writes the final ledger.
