The year is 2500, as a result of the ice caps melting and sea levels rising over 24,900 ft, every continent on Earth is now underwater. The remains of humanity live on rugged, floating communities known as atolls, having long forgotten about living on land, gangs of raiders ride to plunder atolls for rare water and resources. It is believed that a mythical "Dryland" exists somewhere in the endless ocean, though some refuse to believe that, calling it a myth. You’re outside one of the atolls.
