Ravaged by war, the scattered inhabitants of Spheara flounder across the land, wounded, penniless, and hopeless. Enter Suthseg, an archipelago which escaped the scourges of battle and presents the perfect opportunity for a fresh start in the sky. Forge an unstoppable empire and a booming economy all while navigating the dangers of war and messy politics.

Ascend to the challenge with big sales for a healthy economy and even bigger weapons for air supremacy. Create bustling factories and establish mines, foundries, and lumberyards to keep the fleet afloat and the crew from scrounging for materials. Seek out merchants and negotiate quality trades with options to deal in over 300 varied trade goods, and chart treacherous trade routes in hopes of discovering the clearest path to success.

Prepare for battles by fielding airships from 30 distinct types, from graceful sailing vessels to ironclad dreadnoughts, equipped with customizable options for weapons, armor, and equipment. Battle for the skies in more than 500 unique encounters with enemies ranging from the piratical to the soldierly in an adventure where friends can become foes at a moment’s notice.
