Strange Seas

The enchantress was a granddaughter of Dione herself, her curse placed us in a two thousand year slumber. Dione, deciding her granddaughter was cruel, sought the aide of Poseidon, Proteus, Amphitrite, and Medea, to transform us to hide and protect us.

That's why we're underwater and most of us are merfolk?

Yes my Lord.

Can the gods undo this?

If we could speak to them I am sure they might. But the gods seem to be missing.

The western city fell into an enchanted slumber just as the news came of Troy's fall. Now they are awake again and it seems that Athens and Rome have come and gone. Plus the seas are stranger than in ancient days.

Basically, the PCs are heroes sent out of their city to explore the mysterious realms of the seas and rediscover the lands they city-folk came from.

The PCs look like ordinary humans (most of the city-folk are merfolk now) and can survive equally well on land or sea. They are totally ignorant of the world of 800AD. And the seas are as mysterious to them as to surface folk.
