Risky Standard

Show Notes

Centuries ago, the old world was swallowed by forests immeasurable. A new world emerged from the ruins scattered across the endless canopy. Now sailors take to the treetop sea on ships drawn by roaring saws, connecting the distant islands and creating ties that bind them. The verdant ocean is strange and dangerous but it is full of opportunity and wonder as well. Welcome to Risky Standard - Voyage of the Verdigale. Voyage of the Verdigale is a weird-fantasy adventure story set atop the strange and vibrant ocean of treetops known as the Wildsea. It follows the journeys of a research vessel called the Verdigale and its crew as they sail the emerald waves on a mission of exploration and discovery. Along the way they’ll encounter the sentient plants, restless spirits, living storms, and relics of a distant past that populate the bizarre and ever-shifting world of the Wildsea.
