So, it is based onto the lands of RuneScape.
It is the year 1803 in the lands of Gielenor. Nine years before, a Spanish explorer arrived on the shores of our lands, bringing gifts, weaponry, and excellent new ship designs. Now, nine years later, they're back. Adventurers on Karamjan ferry docks saw a ship in the fog... and another, and another. An armada of ships. The unorganized Karamja and it's pirates fell in less than a day.
Sometime later, a Spanish warsloop, thinking it could take Karamja's neighbor, Thorgie Hills, sailed into Frelia bay and was blasted to tinderwood by waiting magi. The Spanish armada then fell back to Karamja, and islands further out in the Nearch sea, ones that Gielenor's adventurers had not discovered.
Thorgie hills, at that time, was developing ship building. Infact, they have studied this so much, the craftsmenship of the builders rivaled current vessels in England. Thorgie hills had a small fleet, which they pitted against the Spanish armada. Using Guerilla tactics, they sunk several small warships. However, their luck went awry when the Spanish flagship sailed up to the little fleet. It's thick hulls repelled cannonballs. The Thorgie fleet was all but wiped out. Shipbuilders were racing to create new vessels.
Shortly afterwards, the Aquilian Crownship Silver Dawn with the royal fleet, arrived from it's trip from Mos Le' Harmless. The captain turned back to Mos Le' Harmless after surveying the situation. The Aquilian fleet was too small to battle Spain. Aquilia turned to the adventurers of the lands to help.
Shortly after the request for help, England and the Black Fang stuck their noses into the frey, increasing Gielenor's dilema.
-Re-Cap of past events- For new/returning roleplayers
A decision was made to sail the Elimine's Pride and another ship to Britain. After much effort, they reached England. Lute and her companions recieved help from the King of England, and the fleet grew. The group splurged on new items in England, and shortly after, set sail. The fleet was then ambushed by a Spanish fleet. The what is now named United Fleet snuffed out the attack with few casualities, but the Black Fang Ship, the Eriskigal is back once again. We are currently battling it. Ephidel and the few men he had attacked the HMS Victory, population 3,000+. The battle was essentially a slaughter and only around 300 men survived. The Admiral of the Fleet has been captured, and Ephidel has created a spell, and now all the dead (2,700+) are attacking the survivors, and the crew of the Reaper, whom defied orders and boarded the ship. Commander Charles is currently holding position in two areas on deck B2, but is being held off by a former Lieutenant. Simon is in the middle of this, and troops are attempting to move in to save a few magi and Simon. Up on deck, things are not faring well, and a several fires had to be extinguished. People in lockdown are safe, but are uneasy. The ship is at critical condition, and orders have been given to the fleet to rush the flagship and save it.

Excellent information on ships used in this roleplay.
The continent of Gielenor
About: Nothing to explain, tbh. Also known as RuneScape. Consists of the primary countries Asgarnia, Kanderin(wrong spelling), and Misthalin.
Asgarnia
Home of the "White Knights". Capitol city is Falador.
Kanderin
Lands of the West. Capitol city is Ardougne.
Misthalin
Central lands. Capitol City is Varrockia.
The continent of Lycia
About: Lycia is an island continent. It is divided into six countries. I will only explain four for now. The people of this continent typically use a different type of Magic. The Magic is imbued into tomes, wands, and staves instead of runestones, a more volatile form of storing magic. Runestones decay after a single use. Lycian made magical weapons maintain the Magic for many more uses. Oddly enough, the Holy Cross of the Unknown world negates this Magic as well as Runestones. This effect will only happen if the cross comes in close contact with a magical item or user. Some powerful magi can overcome this, however.
Thorgie HillsA country facing the coast of Asgarnia. More to come. The mage country of Lycia. The leader is very open in his love of animals and nature. A popular tourist vacation country because of it's lush landscape and exotic animals.
Aquilia
The country facing out to the vast sea. Currently has the only fleet in Gielenor. More to come. Aquilia has the worst military force of all the countries. In the past years, they have been trying to make up for that deficit by intensly researching ancient magics, shipbuilding, and defenses. The castle capitol of Aquilia, Haven, was completed just over nine months ago. It is currently the most fortified city in Gielenor. The main body of the fleet is docked in Mos' Le Harmless, but much of the fleet is in a naval battle off the cost of Europe.
Renais
The peninsula country of Lycia. The country of Renais is well balanced in it's resources, making it a decent exporter of goods. They export fish, maple syrup, ores, and even fine arts.
Archanea
The holy kingdom of Lycia. It was one of the first established countries on the continent.
Other Places
