The New Lockstitch Academy

Prologue

The Lonely Gallows ship, carrying Shamshir, Katori, Adira, Ceylon, and The Tinkerer's Assistant, among others, was violently sucked through a rift from the Seasonings world into The Liminal Plane (a rift dumping ground of sorts), and were fortuitously rescued by Captain Nika Simone. Looking for information on how to return home, the group traveled to The Great Reef, where those looking to study and safely travel through the rifts had convened.

Upon arrival, "The Academy,'' as it were, fell extremely short of the heroes' hopes; their special skill sets however, as if by providence, brought about great hope for Lockstitch. Shamshir, a pirate, trained recruits on how to fight on the open sea with his classic pistol & sabre combo, Katori patiently developed a form of rift-stitching using methods known for generations to her people, Adira cultivated recruits' natural-world curiosity through potions & brews, the Tinker's Assistant shared knowledge of powerful mechanisms and engines, and Ceylon, while not directly interacting with recruits, used her Siren's natural dominion over electromagnetism and signals to fit the Academy and Lockstitch with robust communication devices.

And so we begin our adventures with the first graduation of recruits trained to serve under Captain Nika on the first ship designed to travel rifts, the majestic HTML Wanderpus.

Note: After Admiral Taupe is exposed as a pilfering leader, the HTML Wanderpus breaks from the Lockstitch Fleet and set out on their own. The Academy remains a school for study, research and training for Liminal Plane, residing in the heart of the now fully functional Silver Thimble, beside the HTMLW's Silver Thimble Base of operations.
