Long after the dust settles, what will grow from the rubble? Seven generations after collapse, oceans have reclaimed coasts and civilization’s remains are rotting back to the earth. Extreme climate and violent humans threaten a peaceful community hidden in the Green Mountains. Niwa, a gifted yet timid young empath-scholar, is prompted by group vision to lead a perilous and mystical quest to retrieve a rumored key to peace. Using unique psychic gifts, archaic technology, and nature-based survival skills, Niwaju’s group traverses a depopulated but healing landscape to save their people from impending doom. The travelers draw upon their survival skills, varying levels of control over their own unique psychic gifts, and residual tech artifacts, encountering diverse, unique characters on crumbling highways and swollen rivers through the mountains of Appalachia, moody swamplands of “New New Orleans”, and the Rocky Mountains. As she finds her inner resilience, Niwa’s mission becomes about more than saving her People from destruction; it offers humanity a way forward in a world desperately in need of change. Incorporating mindfulness, sustainability, earth based magic, and wilderness skills, this tarot-themed journey offers a vision of hope, transformation, and growth in a narrative adventure guide to thriving civilization’s aftermath, with surprising twists.

A moodboard consisting of 7 images, all outlined in black. A pile of grey fish. A foggy seaside shack, with an abandoned boat leaning against it. The inside of a tackle shop. Nets, buoys, and fishing paraphernalia hand from the wall and ceiling. A hand reaching out of grey water, the sky above is overcast. A lone rowboat out on foggy, grey water. Grey waves spraying foam against an overcast sky as seagulls fly around. Two fishing boats sail on a grey ocean, with seagulls in the overcast sky.
Underwater, over a coral reef, rays of light shine through the water. A few fish swim through the reef. Text reading "From the Sea Fret, Comps" is bordered in the centre. 5 arrows point towards posters. The poster are: Dredge by Black Salt Games, Old Wounds by Logan-Ashley Kisner, The Lighthouse by Robert Eggers, The Fisherman by John Langan, Blood in the Bayou by Just Roll With It
Underwater, over a coral reef, rays of light shine through the water. A few fish swim through the reef. A sheet of paper with text on it is centered. The text reads: From the Sea Fret. Excerpt. My thoughts were snowballing, adding up all the bullshit I’ve dealt with since moving to Perne, and my heart was beating faster at each uneasy memory that passed behind my eyes. I was gripping the wheel with white knuckles, forcing myself to breathe through clenched teeth. The rope on the net creaking from strain pulled my body into automation. The thoughts momentarily shut off as I set about pulling the fish in. With each haul on the rope, I took a little bit extra time, as I knew what would be in the net. It seemed like no matter where I turned, things were waiting to fuck with my mind. The word 'forcing' is underlined.
