In my Bronze Age Setting game, the main sea was about the size of the Eastern Med, but with a narrower mouth blocked by don't-call-it-Crete and an ocean beyond. The adventurers were barbarian mercenaries from the mountains in the kingdoms of pseudo-Canaan. Every so often there was news about a tin shortage, or an increase in piracy, or the elderly king of don't-call-it-Egypt making an eccentric demand of his Asiatic subjects. One of the major NPCs was a thinly disguised Abdi-Ashirta from the Amarna letters.
