No one is sure what caused the oceans to rise. Was it mankinds wastefulness, their abuse of the enviroment, or something entirely beyond their control. It did not matter now. The oceans had risen and they were here to stay. Very few people survived the initial flooding. It came so suddenly wiping out entire continents over night. However luckily several large vessels such as cruise ships, battle ships, and aircraft carriers survived this. However the resources on these vessels were finite. The would need to find a new source of food and water soon or die of hunger and or thirst.<br/><br/>Luckily though that was when the miracle of the Inaril was discovered. Trees that rose above the waters surface their fruit full of fresh water and tree dwelling creatures and birds abundant in their branches. This was where the wanderers made their homes around the groves of Inaril all around the world. The Inaril grew swiftly and produced fruit rapidly. it was unsure how it filtered the salt water into fresh to store in the fruit but as long as they were taken care of and well maintained no one needed to worry about starving or dehydration. There was on concern though. Thanks to the Inaril their lives were saved but it also caused a growth in population and space on the ships was running out. In desperation they began to scavenge the ocean floor getting metal, glass, and wood of any kind and bringing it back to be turned into a new boat or part of the dock around the Inaril groves. Soon this became the norm and daily life for everyone.<br/><br/>Of course no paradise is perfect as someone is always excluded. A young man named Halrin sailed a small boat he had build from scrap himself bringing scrap metal and glass to the different Inaril docks for trade. He wore a high collar jacket and large gloves and boots with black jeans. Of course everyone was dressed different these days so no one thought twice about his fashion. after registering his boat he headed towards the smelter district of the dock to try and sell his scrap metal and glass for a good price. hopefully he could afford an actual Inaril seed this time besides just the fruit meat and juice. No one on an Inaril dock would let a seed go for nothing.
