Late in November, the sun shone brightly.
White sails! White sails!
Together, two hundred large and small sailing ships embarked on a long voyage.
White sails, obscuring the sky, stretched from before their eyes to the horizon—a fleet so vast that even a seabird couldn't cross it in a short while.
The merchant ships, laden with various goods—blankets, cloth, ironware, alcohol—made up the majority. Some belonged to the York family, others to Great Nobles and large trading companies.
Then there were the colonial ships, filled with immigrants, indentured servants, and dreamers hoping to strike it rich overnight in new lands.
Among them were also many scions of declining noble families, like Vincent of the Royal Hound, intending to make their mark overseas and restore their family fortunes.
The flagship of the fleet was the Support, a fourth-rate ship equipped with a Wonder Ship Figurehead.
