11The Seven Seas is the world around the haven in Corsair Cove, and everything that is not construction happens out here. Regions start hidden under fog of war and stay hidden until a ship is sent to their discovery point. Each region carries its own quest line, its own side content, and its own minor events. See Expeditions for the voyage layer and Islands for the settled starting locations.22Discovery does not stick permanently. When no ship has been in a region for a while, the fog closes back over it, and a hull has to sail back to the discovery point to reveal it again.44Sailing to an Event67Events sit at various points inside each region, and reaching one means building a ship, crewing it, and sending it out. The voyage plays out in real time and typically runs a few minutes, during which the haven keeps running and other ships can be given orders. The simulation can be sped up to shorten the wait.89Only one ship can embark on a given event at a time. Assigning a second hull silently unassigns the first, which then stops wherever it happens to be and waits for new orders. When the assigned ship arrives, the captain speaks up and the ship halts, or trails the event if the event itself is moving. Entering it presents either a decision or a set of objectives, and everything else pauses while that plays out.1011Types of Event1213The events that turn up in a region fall into a handful of recurring shapes, alongside the entries belonging to that region's own quest line and to the four path quest lines.1415Crown portDrifting castawaysFriendly portJetsamMerchant ship or treasure fleetShipwreckSmuggling run1617Finishing a region's quest line converts one of its quest locations into a friendly port. A ship that enters one can repair, re-crew, and resupply on the spot in exchange for coin and resources, with no transfer of goods needed from home and no delay. Cargo already aboard stays aboard. The practical value is that a fleet can keep working without sailing home, which matters because returning to the pier costs a haven any accumulated Sea Legs buffs from the Shrine of the Sea.1819Regions2021The world is laid out in rings around the starting island. For orientation, the camera angle when first arriving at the haven, looking at the camp from the inlet, counts as north.2223Skull Rock Vicinity2425The first region opens with a single discovery point just south of Skull Rock, and carries the tier 2 path quests.2627LocationDirectionDangerous fogNorthwestSmuggler islandNortheastBarbos BaySoutheastJungle islandSouthwest2829First Ring2930Four regions surround Skull Rock, each with its own quest line, ambitions, decisions, and tier 3 path quests.3132RegionDirectionNotable Quest ContentAncient ArchipelagoNorthGold or Glory, Great Pyramid, The Secret of ProsperityWhalesong WakeEastThe Whale Hunt Contest, House of Fortune, JonahCrossbone KeysSouthThe Fountain of Youth, The Ocean's EndBuccaneer's EndWestThe Thinning of the Guard, Bloody Bastille, The Missing Prisoners3334Second Ring3435Nine further regions ring the first four.

They pay out in resources, coin, Cohesion, and, where the quest is tied to a path, principle points. The main story runs across these regions too, so exploration is not optional content sitting beside the campaign; it is where the campaign takes place.4142Alongside quests, the seas carry recurring non-quest activity: pirate hunters, the Dread Whale, Crown patrols, merchant ships, and storms. See Naval Combat for how these fights resolve.
