Arrival

The journey across the East Sea is trying, regardless of season. The cooler seasons have fierce storms that can toss even the largest of ships to and fro, while the warmer have doldrums and calms that can strand a ship for days. The voyage takes two months when all goes well, but can stretch to as long as four if difficulties are encountered. Despite the risks, each ship that dares the crossing is full.

Itona offers opportunities simply not present elsewhere in the world. Noted for its sweeping expanses and technological innovations, the continent welcomes those looking to author their own futures. Earning passage on one of the ships is a driving goal for many. Some achieve it via luck, winning a lottery for passage from a consulate. Others buy their way on board. Regardless of how a person came to secure passage, Itona offers a path to citizenship for any that can make it to the shore and are willing to dedicate themselves.
