The Seastrider was sailing for Avanta, the new land discovered recently to the southwest of Curador, the mainland. Hundreds of people from various races, though mostly humans, flocked towards the harbors, hoping for a chance to board one of the ships and start a new life on Avanta for various reasons, yourself among them. You were lucky to possess the money (or other methods) needed for a spot on the Seastrider.The storm came as a surprise. The captain sent sailors into the mast to take down the sails, but they were swept away when the mast was torn apart by a sudden blow of the wind. Panic broke loose. It didn't last long for the Seastrider to start taking water. The other ships in the fleet were too far away and too occupied by the storm to be of any assistance, and thus, the Seastrider went down. Grabbing your personal belongings, you clung to a broken down part of the ship or perhaps a wooden piece of furniture to find yourself floating on the sea.After two days of floating on the sea you crash down on the beach of an island. When you look around, you see a handfull of other survivors from the Seastrider, scattered along the beach. In front of you, you see a forest, but consisting of trees you never saw before or even heard about. The trees consist of one large trunk upwards, covered with lots of large leaves sticking out of it. Red balls up to 6 inches can be found scattered around the trees and on the trees themselves. Occasionally a screeking sound comes from the forest, which you cannot place. It could be an animal, likely a bird, but not of a specie you ever heard before.You see barrels and other debris of the ship that has drifted to the shore by accident. Small sixlegged creatures come out of the sand to inspect the debris, but none can be found in your close presence, or in the presence of the people close to you for that matter. To the left, the beach and the side of the island take a turn to the right, where the forest blocks your view. To the right, cliffs that rise up and continue to the shore block your path. In front of you lies the forest.It's in the early morning. The sun just started it's path around the sky. The only sounds you hear are the waves clashing down on the beach and the squeeks coming from the forest.</blockquote>
