Dark Sea books

In this page are displayed all the books/notes featured in the game "Dark Sea". The game has various resemblance to No Time so reading this books can extend a bit the lore regarding various events of No Time. The finding of all the books/notes are still being processed so the page is not yet completed.

Small lore survey
Before reading the books it is appropriate to list some plot-features of Dark Sea to compare them with No Time and urdenstand better the influence that had Dark Sea on No Time.

First of all, the plot of the game almost seems like a spin-off of No Time (despite Dark Sea being released before of course). The entire premise in which the game takes place is very similar to the plot of Lord Dun's first adventure i.e. "Dark Sea" as the name of the game. Redbeard's character matches the one in the books and the protagonist of the game is most likely Lord Dun/Prince Berend himself. The setting of the game is the same as No Time as it takes place in the southern archipelago of the Continent. Coconut Bay is similar to Pine Island, mainly due to the mountain with the cross placed on the top that looks like Mount Uroruh. The city in Coconut Bay is very reminiscent of Cape Dun, and in a certain way also of the Viking Village, especially for the presence of the lighthouse. Also the side-quest given by the cleric in Coconut Bay is the same given by the cleric of the Viking colony and takes place with almost the same dynamics within the game. It is therefore important to take this comparison into account to understand much of No Time's deep lore which is obviously drawn from Dark Sea.

Speaking more strictly of the game it is possible to recognize references to the story of the Star Wars episode IV (while in the book of No Time you can see references from the III and the V episode) and perhaps also some inspiration from the disney movie "Treasure Planet".

The Island of Krakos
This small report talks about the island of Krakos focusing on the exploration of the tunnels of a volcano that are very reminiscent of those of Mount Uroruh of Pine Island. The book is placed in the house of the player at the beginning of the game.

An account of the volcano's mysterious past:

In 1163, when the esteemed explorer Benerdano founded the island settlement of Khoruna, he craved for the exploration of the majestic mountain of Krakos nearby. In 1164, he led an expedition party to reveal its secrets. His findings were astonishing. It seemed as if an ancient city once thrived there, but was destroyed by erosion of unknown origin. The explorers discovered a huge tunnel that led into the volcano, with a gate closing its entrance. A key was found on a nearby pedestal. Some say the gate was immediately locked by the explorers, in fear of what they might find; others say they ventured into the dark tunnel in search of answers. We may never know what they truly witnessed that day. Though legend has it, Benerdano vowed to protect the key to his death...

Redbeard's Diary
This page of text is from Redbeard's Diary, Redbeard talk about begin a travel to the continent. The note can be found in a small cave in the beginning island of the game.

The last years have been rather disconcerting... With the latest happenings on the continent I have to find out more... I will have to ask Diego to get me a safe ride to the continent... [Player name] will be most definetly safe here unless the pirate plague finds its way from the far north... I will move in the early morning

- Redbeard Monday 12th 1411 AD

Orders from G - 1
This note is from a mysterious person called "G", he intimidate Dereg and order to capture Redbeard and the protagonist with another person that G calls "traitor" named Rodriges. The note can be found in the island where the protagonist stranded at the beginning of the game.

DEREG!

You stinky salmon this was the last time you disappointeds me with your buttery intellect. To give the Sluggy Dego, the fastest ship in the whole southem sea, to some louse contaminated pirates from the north. No I don't care! You should have been a man and tell them to get here in their moldy boats. You don't really believe in those children stories that northern pirates are 9 feet large, man eating, drunken bears do you? Now for a last chance I give you a small fleet we tracked Redbeards hidden treasure together with the boy he will propably be going after him so pull yourself together and capture them! Track him east of Coconut bay oh and after that could you capture this stinking traitor Rodriges please?

Your capatin G.
