The Wild Sea is a thing. It is a place. It is scary and wild and dangerous and full of life.

2
00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:16.179
Not a sea by our modern knowledge, but those who live here know nothing of bodies of water.

3
00:00:16.179 --> 00:00:21.859
They know very little of earth or ground as concepts. They know the Wildsea,

4
00:00:21.859 --> 00:00:28.138
a never-ending stretch of canopy and jungle growth. Below the canopy, the thrash is already

5
00:00:28.138 --> 00:00:33.740
dark enough to swallow nearly all daylight. And between you and me, it's still miles away

6
00:00:33.740 --> 00:00:40.598
from the earth underneath your and my feet. Atop the sea, ships powered by massive engines

7
00:00:40.598 --> 00:00:46.279
of various types and propelled by saws that rip and tear and pull at the canopy have made their

8
00:00:46.279 --> 00:00:54.000
expeditions and travels on the sea of this new world. Our camera opens up with the vision of a bird,

9
00:00:54.319 --> 00:00:59.918
flying and soaring over top of the canopy, seeing miles and miles of green in every direction.

10
00:00:59.918 --> 00:01:09.198
Diving underneath the top layer to hunt a tree rat, the camera continues past swiftly. Darkness swallows,

11
00:01:09.198 --> 00:01:16.879
we're ducking and dodging past bowery boughs and branches. We see a few pinwolves bounding by on the hunt for

12
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:23.918
something that moves just above in the canopy. Lunging quickly, light breaks in, we see a massive fire,

13
00:01:23.918 --> 00:01:32.019
fire, far in the north of the Wildsea. Ever since the Verdancy, growth is so swift that fires can burn

14
00:01:32.019 --> 00:01:38.918
through material and it regrows before the fire burns out. It's now been just about a century since

15
00:01:38.918 --> 00:01:45.918
this fire started. And it still stains the skies of the north black and sickly.
