With Black Beards final words, the world enters what is known as the Great Odyssey, in hopes of finding The New World of Dreams and Treasure, Arcadia. 100 years since that date, and Asher (15), finds himself in a bit of trouble landing himself in the Great Odyssey. Asher must now assemble a crew and find various maps by going to Adventure High and fulfilling quests. The task is not a simple one as the world has split itself into 3 extreme dogmas: Anarchy, Judiciary and Monarchy, where all three systems are looking for the same Arcadia. Will Asher and his crew be the first ones to find it, or will it be his sister, Aleqia (18), from the judiciary, be the one and cement her title as the Supreme Chief of Arms, or maybe the powerful monarchy are well on their way to finding Arcadia, or maybe... Just maybe, there's a devious force lurking in the shadows and pulling the strings to achieve, the dastardly, Infinite Void. Who will find Arcadia? Will the Infinite Void be stopped? Will the world ever know balance? All question will be answered to those who are driven enough to take the first steps of the Great Odyssey!
