Have you ever wondered what the world would be like without an ocean? If the world was divided not by the unknown watery depths of the sea but instead by a vast expanse of nothing.... Nothing but the sky of course.





The world of Hinterland is exactly that, a world where the people live on islands that are divided by vast expanses of sky. This separation allows for completely different communities to flourish, unhampered by the beliefs and ongoings of other 'Hinterfolk' with different views... Well, for the most part anyways. All the islands of Hinterland are governed by religious extremists known as  Starrebeiter, they aren't very strict about much as long as you follow their beliefs.






"Man are not made to fly, we don't have wings do we? Wherever we end up in, be it the crummiest corner of the world or the wealthiest, it is where we were meant to be. You were born on that island and you will die on that island, no exceptions.."- Professor Campbell.



Most people live under this law without so much as uttering a complaint, there exists however a legion of people that aren't particularly happy to be dictated in such a way and so they leave the islands anyways, these people are called 'Sky Charters'. These brave men and women go out on Sky-freights, jetpacks, whatever means possible really to ensure that every inch of the sky is mapped, a practice that is considered taboo by most of the people that populate Hinterland. Though these people call themselves Sky Charters most folk don't give them the privilege and instead have labeled them 'Sky Pirates', a derogatory label slapped onto these people just because they don't believe in the same thing as everyone else.





Your name is _______, you've just come of age and now it's time for you to head out into the world. On what side of the argument do you stand, are you a Sky Charter or a member of the Militia...? Or do you maybe not care at all about the issue? All of these important questions you'll need to answer for yourself if you intend to start being a functioning member of society,
