Backstory

Amid the hustle and bustle of the trading ships passing between Izlude and Alberta, sailors and traders spread rumours of sightings of a pirate ship which had run ashore seemingly some time ago. The other rumour spreading quickly on this "windward passage", so to speak, was that of Turtle island.

Turtle island was supposed to be an island, which in sheer coincidence was named such because it resembled a turtle. An island shrouded in fog, not visible to the shore, which only became visible when approached by boat. The legend, so it goes, is that many an adventurer had sought out the "Heart of Ymir", risking their lives to try and unravel the legend, which remains unsolved.

A few sailors from Alberta began to offer passage to the island, but the residents themselves disliked the island so passage to the island became offered by fewer and fewer seafarers. Scholars began to put out word for adventurers to sally forth and investigate the mysteries that lay in wait on the mysterious isle.
