The white ruins off the coast of Marisport gleam through the turquoise waters on especially calm days, famed among adventurers as a place as
rich in history as it is in treasure and danger.
Though only a shadow of what they once were, these ruins still veil the past of a magnificent city-state, enlightened by the wisdom and art of its
people.
Great efforts have been made by scholars, historians, and archaeologists with the support of several guilds, yet the deepest caverns remain
unexplored. According to legend, the “Heart of Marie” lies hidden below; no one is certain what it is, only that its story is entwined with
the founding of the modern city. Those who have joined such expeditions will tell you how treacherous those waters are, and how they have
swallowed more than one ship.
Even so, these dangers do not deter everyone who thirsts for knowledge or wealth, and this has sparked more than a few conflicts between those
who wish to uncover the ruins’ secrets and those who want to claim their hoards.
