In the furthest reaches of the world, there is only the frosts and the winds of the Dread Wastes; it is a desolate and isolated place, a wasteland that is inhospitable for any man of civilization to try to survive within. And yet, many have braved attempts to venture through in search of a new route across the world. Glory awaits those that find a way to surpass the Leviathan Sea, though a grim fate greets many others that fail to rise to the occasion. Terrors of nature lurk the lands, with the weather being just as deadly as the beasts that roam within it to barely eke out a living. Men grow mad from hunger and loneliness, hearing whispers in the air and waters that pit beset sailors with fears and doubts. In fact, it takes a certain amount of madness to willingly travel there in the first place knowing all this. I was one of them.
-Sir Peter Worrington, Duke of Sathesbury, survivor of the Collings Expedition
Organized by the Concert of Henwya, the main diplomatic body of the known world, the Second Dobbs Expedition is set to leave port from the Ablionian city of Lindwen with the hopes of finally charting a path through the Wastes and finding a feasible path through. However, things are not as simple as they seem as the crew of the Dawnbreaker will soon come to find... for there are worse things beyond the natural that lurk in the cold...
You will be playing a crew member of the ship, whether Albionian or as part of personell sent from another nation to take part in the expedition. Feel free to make up nationalities, or to use those made by other players, when making your character. Your character will, in turn, be the head of that particular group of volunteered personell.

Biography: Jonathan Dobbs II, named after his grandfather, was born into a well-to-do family within the Albionian heartland and received an upbringing no different from others within the nobility. The third of five children, much of the attention towards the family was instead directed to his older brother William Dobbs who made a name for himself as a famed explorer in both charting the Southern Waterways as well as exploring the Far East. While Jonathan himself also served in the Royal Albionian Navy, he was less distinguished when compared to the accomplishments of his elder. However, with the disappearance of William Dobbs three years ago - himself traveling to the Dread Wastes - Jonathan thus eagerly sought out the chance to lead the next multinational expedition towards those lands in order to find out what happened to his brother. Although he wasn't the Admirality's first choice, he was ultimately picked for the task and now leads the Second Dobbs Expedition.
