High Seas

over a thousand years from now most of the polar ice caps have melted and flooded much of the world's coastline, leaving human civilization in chaos as the biggest & most influential cities are sunken below the sea. most people who were important enough have been moved farther inland too live in megacities and other's were forced out into the rising ocean too live on boats and rafts. you find yourself out at sea in the sunken ruins of Orlando Florida, one of the last places to have survived the flood where people have built new homes on the remaining skyscrapers that still stand above the water. you can be anyone, either a traveler, trader, pirate or privateer, fishermen or even just a regular resident living in Orlando. one day you were taken into the Barron's private room up the tallest building in the city after cussing a commotion in the market and they offer you a choice, either take your punishment or do some "jobs" for him.
