Swashbuckling and sorcery. Intrigue and corruption. Choices and exploration. Is it more dangerous to navigate a ship through stormy seas or try to navigate court politics? Is it better to tackle conflicts with weapons or words?
7th Sea does a remarkable job of not letting its huge setting make players feel small, although set against the vastness of the ocean and the tangled political webs of many countries, heros have an impressive amount of control over the narrative.
We invite you along for a voyage that could take us almost anywhere, from creaking wooden ships and the smell of salt air, to ballrooms where only the cream of society are invited to dance, to small villages with small problems that mean the world to their inhabitants, to groups that pull the strings from the shadows and manipulate the world. We don't know where we're headed or what will happen on the way but we hope you'll join us!

Catalina is a 5ft tall fiery red headed Castilian teenage girl with a passion for honor and conflict. While not Castilian by birth, she is Castilian at heart, having a passion for music and dancing unmatched by her peers. She is quick with her wit as much as her sword and her unique physician skills allows her to be a deadly rival to those that would appose her.

Clearly trained in etiquette and more used to finer things in life, Marguerite is surprisingly accepting of the situation she has found herself in and shows no real interest in making an effort to return home. She has little patience for nonsense, however it takes a fair bit to provoke her to outright rudeness. With the exception of sailing her skills could all be put down to what might be taught to those growing up in the Montaigne court, and as such are mostly unsuited to adventuring on the high seas. She seems to truly enjoy living, working and generally spending time on a ship and in the rare moments there is nothing to do will often simply contentedly watch the water.

"I have only two loves in life: family, and money.” Wojack is a shrewd merchant born in a far away land and raised in The Sarmatian Commonwealth. Loud, arrogant, mistrusting and silver tongued, he believes no power is greater than the coin - a versatile tool, and a deadly weapon. On that doctrine he built a small, but prosperous shipping company with his most trusted business partner, and faithful husband, on the Glamour Isles’ of Avalon. However, the river of fate was unkind to him yet again, and he now finds himself abducted and adrift on the Seven Seas, with nothing but a name: Alberto Picaro. Now separated from his family and facing unknown, deadly trials ahead, he will have to use all his wits and suave to make it through the day, and once more be with his loved ones.

Fenrick prides himself on his musical ability and wants to perform in front of royalty. He wants to one day be known as Avalon's best musician. He prefers to attack a good meal than an enemy but won't shy away from a fight if called upon to defend others. His large physique can seem intimidating to some but that impression is easily dismissed once they speak to him.

The continent of Theah sits surrounded by six seas. Sailors whisper of a seventh but that is considered little more than folklore. While Theah consists of several nations, all of them can trace their recorded history back to one place: Numa, the first city. The first human city that is, for there were others before. Ruined cities and strange artifacts are all that remain of the Syrneth, those who came before, whose powerful grasp of magic and technology was not enough to prevent... whatever led to their sudden disappearance. Their impact on the world is still felt in the struggle to claim the powerful items they left behind.
Numa, the first human city, first prospered, then became corrupt, and finally fell. From its ashes the Numan Empire was born, however this was not a peaceful change and several families who had been in power previously while the city was a republic used Syrneth artifacts and made pacts with powerful entities, thus becoming the first sorcerers. War raged until at last a pact was able to be made, each noble family being allowed to claim a territory of the empire for their own, thus dividing Theah, as long as they acknowledged the rule of the Numan Imperator, who at this point had little actual power as that was back in the hands of the Senate.
And so there was peace for 50 years. Then came the First Prophet. A stranger came before the Senate claiming to be the prophet of a god named Theus, the creator of the world, and decrying sorcery and those that practiced it as an abomination. A cult sprung up around him, and he gained enough influence to be a threat to the Senate who arrested him as a criminal. He was executed, but not before predicting that three more prophets would follow.
Even after the prophet's death his cult continued to grow. 200 years years later it was so powerful that the Imperator declared it the one true faith, and the Senators were banished to outlying regions. As the empire too continued to grow, it fell to the same ruin as the Republic it followed, becoming corrupt and collapsing two centuries after the Senators were banished. This began the dark age of Theah, and it was during this time that the Second Prophet appeared. He began the Crusades, waging war against sorcery in all its forms. He lost his life in the very first crusade, but the Third Prophet emerged and continued preaching of the evils of magic, a belief the prophets had managed to instill in many.
The Third Prophet vowed to rid Theah of magic once and for all, allied with the power of the Vaticine Church and conquered the nation of Castille, throwing out it's ruling family who were users of sorcery. He planned to move on to the other nations still ruled by the noble families who had been banished hundreds of years before, but there was no need. Vodacce rebelled against its nobles and removed them from power, while the Montaigne nobles agreed to give up their magic to retain their rule. The Third Prophet reorganized the Vaticine Church, prophesied the coming of Fourth Prophet whose appearance would mean the end of the world, and vanished never to be heard from again.
Today the different nations of Theah engage in politics, commerce, conflict, and a healthy dose of intrigue, all touched by the shadow of their history. Castille hosts the Vaticine Church and its Inquisition dedicated to fighting sorcery and is ruled by a child king struggling to hold the nation together. Montaigne is made up of decadence loving nobles and the common people who suffer for their opulence, and ruled by an emperor who has revealed Montaigne never truly gave up their use of sorcery. Avalon, a place whose history is more legend, is inhabited not only by humans but the faerie folk called the Sidhe, technically three nations bound together as one it is ruled by Queen Elaine who holds the graal, an artifact that grants the sorcery of Glamour. Vodacce is a nation of intrigue, where power is held by extravagantly wealthy nobles and the fate witches, Vodacce sorcery is incredibly powerful and only usable by women. Eisen was once Theah's most powerful nation, until a civil war between their two biggest religions, the Vaticine and Objectionists, weakened the nation until Montaigne and Castille stepped in and put an end to it, both claiming large amounts of land in the process. Ussura is mostly overlooked by other Theans who consider it a vast, frozen wasteland, but it is stable and it's people live good though hard lives. The Vestenmannavnjar and Vedel inhabit islands to the north of Eisen, the former those who still maintain the traditions of that land and seek to protect their heritage and the latter those of the merchant class who have changed to better appeal to the Southern nations for monetary gain.
Outside of every nation are the pirates, although in a sense they have a nation of their own. The Pirate Nation is a loose collection of the pirates of Theah, almost every major pirate group is represented. Pirates care little for the politics of Theah, until one nation or other decides to try and rid the seas of them, at which point they call on their alliance and fight back.
