The Tempest

Nubon Northeast has spent the entirety of her thirteen years studying to become warlord of her kingdom--even as Berr flounders in the absence of their patron god, Burme. But, before she tries her hand at leadership, she must survive the trial to prove she's worthy.

Dumped out to sea with nothing by her name and the clothes on her back, Nubon is forced to navigate her way back to the floating city before the other contenders for the warlord's mantle. If she doesn't fall prey to starvation, thirst, or the monsters lurking beneath the waves.

This short takes place 200 years before the events of Smoke and Rain.
