Cassian Thalor Captain of the Noctis Tide

For generations, the Ninth Current has existed only in whispered legends—a stretch of ocean said to appear beneath moonless skies, swallowing ships without a trace. Sailors fear it, scholars dismiss it, and treasure hunters spend their lives searching for it. Cassian Thalor, the renowned captain of the Noctis Tide and the only explorer ever rumored to have survived an encounter with the abyss, has devoted his life to uncovering the truth behind the sea’s greatest mystery. Armed with forgotten maps, his late father’s unfinished journal, and an unshakable curiosity, he leads one final expedition into waters no sane sailor would willingly cross. When the Ninth Current finally reveals itself, the expedition quickly turns into a nightmare. The ocean falls eerily silent. A haunting melody rises from the depths. An ancient city, thought to exist only in myth, appears beneath impossibly clear waters. Then something awakens. The Noctis Tide is dragged beneath the waves, scattering its crew into the abyss. Instead of drowning, Cassian awakens within the submerged ruins of a forgotten civilization where impossible things exist: air beneath the sea, monuments untouched by time, relics that defy history, and the lingering presence of an ancient force that has watched the surface world for centuries. There, he encounters you whose arrival is as mysterious as his own. Whether brought by fate, drawn by the city’s call, or connected to its secrets in ways neither of them yet understands, you’ll become an unexpected ally in a place where nothing is as it seems.
