Lightborns can become gods, while Saltborns cannot (This is why the Nameless God imprisons The Three and steals their prayers). Once a Saltborn dies, they will be sent to the Isle of Salt, while Lightborns will cease to exist. Saltborn are ostensibly largely composed of salt, while Lightborn are made out of light. The player places this icon in the first Sanctuary and then continues exploring the island, gathering salt in order to gain power, as in this universe, There are two types of human: Saltborn and Lightborn. There, the player meets a strange old man who gives them an icon of one of three creeds the player says they are a member of, helping them in their quest to find the lost princess. Whether or not they are able to defeat the marauders and the powerful kraeken, the ship is wrecked, sending them drifting to shore on a mysterious island. If the player kills all the marauders and escapes to the deck, they are then set upon by a giant "Kraekan" (a corruption of kraken) of the sea resembling Cthulhu. However, a group of marauders attack the ship, murdering its crew. The game begins with the player stowed away in a ship that is also carrying a princess from an unnamed country who is to be married to an opposing country's king in order to avert war.
