Northern Ocean
The sea shimmered beneath the rising sun.
Hundreds of sails stretched across the northern waters, catching the wind like holy banners. Each moved in perfect formation, casting long shadows over the waves. The ships of the Indiana Empire—galleons, spirit barges, and ironclads—formed a vast wall of wood, steel, and sacred power.
Below the surface, creatures stirred. Colossal marine beasts, bonded by ancient rites, swam beneath the hulls. Some moved in silence—shadow-whales with glowing fins. Others made the water tremble—shell-backed leviathans with horns of coral and volcanic eyes. All were sworn to the Empire, guardians of the sea beneath.
Above, the skies—
The Ganges Sky Fleet, officially designated the 7th Indiana Air War Command, hung in the air like a second sea. Fifty-seven flying warships drifted across the clouds—massive crafts built from levitating stonewood, reinforced with myth-forged metals and wind-channeling runes.
