The Edwardian, captained by its unshakeable namesake, had embarked on many an adventure, and its name had gained fame enough to ring with some familiarity even as far as the small hamlet of Atherdee.  Unbeknownst to the eclectic crew, the key to bridging the gap between recognizable and legendary status spent her nights tending to the town's humble inn.  Coaxed from comfort by a simple pocket watch and bolstered by the courage of her brother at her side, Eabha finds herself gravitating towards the mystical call of the great ship, fortuitously joining the rambunctious brotherhood on board. In so doing, she discovers that the stories of bravery, magic, family, and love not only exist in tales of the world beyond, but, in fact, were now embodied by those around her and, ultimately, within her. When the ruthless forces of darkness face the unrelenting strength of The Edwardian battalion and their new, unassuming hero, every skill will be tested and terrible sacrifices will be made in the desperate hope that what they have built together will prove powerful enough to overcome the looming shadows threatening their survival and the freedom of their beloved country.

82 parts Ongoing
In the 17th century, the infamous pirate Verbeck terrorized the Spanish colonies, amassing an incalculable fortune. But his greatest secret does not lie in the Caribbean... rather, it is hidden on an island in another world, where he stashed his treasure alongside an artifact of unimaginable power: the Helm of Guzob, a war relic of the elves. A Century later, a failed writer steals an ancient diary that describes a sailor's journey in search of an island that appears on no map. Inspired, he writes a novel based on these tales, never imagining that its publication would awaken the fury of the Spanish Empire and the Holy Inquisition, who see more than fiction in those pages... and accuse him of heresy. The writer is arrested and taken to prison. When his granddaughter discovers what has happened, she decides to investigate on her own and soon finds herself drawn into the same dangerous conspiracy. Her search leads her to cross paths with a young Jesuit, a descendant of Verbeck, who is also following the trail of the legendary island. Both end up joining the crew of Captain Skippy, a bold elf in service to the elven colony of Synderin, on the edge of the forests of the British colony of Georgia. With his people on the brink of economic collapse, Skippy sees the hunt for the treasure as the last chance to save his home. But they are not alone in the race for Verbeck's fortune. A greedy viceroy, a ruthless pirate, and fanatical inquisitors, guided by dark forces, are willing to spill blood to claim the helm and the pirate's cursed gold. For Skippy, his crew, and their new allies, this journey will be more than a simple treasure hunt: it will be an odyssey that defies the laws of their world and forces them to confront secrets that were never meant to be uncovered.
