Knights Over A Scarlet Sea
A homebrew setting for a dieselpunk RPG, inspired by Porco Rosso, All Quiet on the Western Front, and Crimson Skies.
The Scarlet Sea
Mare Sanguis, Thalassa Aima, Eztlihueatl; the Scarlet Sea has been associated with battle and death since time immemorial. The northernmost spur of the Colleterrean Sea, the Scarlet Sea was long considered the dividing line between Western and Eastern Europe, separating the Tyrnian Peninsula from the Plains of Ulm.
