Airovale — Core Village

The village of Airovale rests on a lush island plateau of waterfalls and drifting clouds—a steampunk island village where invention and nature keep time together. Markets brim with cookery, spices, and fresh harvests; lanterns flicker along cobblestone lanes as tower-docks welcome returning airships.

As the capital of the southern isles, Airovale is a warm braid of artisans, families, and aeronauts. Founded by refugees of ancient volcanic ruin, its craft and compassion endure: engines hum beside ivy walls, and fertile foothills beyond the gates feed the community that calls this place home.

Begin at Episode 1, return in Episode 4, and learn the Law of Exchange that guides every bargain and bond in Airovale.

Crescent Islands — Storm Gates

At the farthest reach of the archipelago, the Crescent Islands arc like a moon over sapphire seas. Dormant volcanoes honeycomb the cliffs with ancient lava tubes, veining gold and copper beneath canyon walls laced with waterfalls and terraced farms.

Settlers here are naturalists who rebuke heavy industry, living in close harmony with land and tide. Whispered legends speak of a hidden temple and its lost gold, guarded by Mahala—a timeless figure who keeps her youth by sorcery and vow.

Reaching the Crescents is perilous: magnetic seas twist compasses, storms spring from clear skies, and jagged channels turn false lights into traps. Airships often arrive stripped of supplies; trade flows in exchange for harvests, tools, and safe harbor. Begin the crossing in Episode 2 and follow the temple’s shadow in Episode 3.

Canyon Myst — Fae-Guarded Frontier

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.

Ancient World — City Before the Ash

In the Southern Sea there once stood an ancient utopia—a civilization of peace whose advanced technology, architecture, and engineering shaped harbors, cathedrals, and luminous halls. Scholars charted stars while artisans cast glass and iron; knowledge flowed as freely as the tides. Masters of the deep, they built amphibious vessels to roam the reefs and discover ocean mysteries. In the heart of the island, a portal was built to harness a mysterious energy emanating from the island’s core.

A doorway opened for moments, then sealed, those who dared step through never returned. Then the great volcano erupted without warning. Some fled on ships; many perished for lack of boats. A few sought refuge in the temple, stepping through the portal to escape as lava drowned the city into ruin. They were hurled into a distant future, arriving safely on the island a thousand years forward. .

But travel through time meant their days would expire as a year, anywhere except the island—nature’s condition to prevent a paradox beyond. The survivors climbed out of the cavern where the portal remained, buried in rock and water. They eventually learned of the anachronism, and sought to master it, but were unable to pass again through the portal.

The surviving clan of fae and humans, rebuilt their lives seeking harmony with the law of exchange, respecting time as the only treasure. Explore the portal arc in Episode 6.
