EIGHT DAYS BEFORE THE WORLD ENDS

Welcome to The Gate of Suns, a blog dedicated to the fantasy naval combat game 'UNCHARTED SEAS' the first miniature game created by the company Spartan Games. It has been a long journey since the game started in 2008 with the old sculpts of the ships, then, later on, a re-make of the sculpts employing 3D printers to make finely detailed ships models in 1:600 scale

The game saw a hardback edition for the rules in 2012, and later on a canpaing called 'The Cauldron of Silence' in Spartan Games' blog. I peronally got involved in the playtesting phase of a new magic and campaign system, and even the game saw the full release of  allmost all ships for the last faction of the game: The Sky Pirates who only had two models at the time of the already mentioned campaing 'The Cauldron of Silence'... And That was All. At some point Spartan Games decided to no longer support the game, and the models could only be bought from their online store until they ran out of stock, and feedback and announcements from the company about this game in the forums practically ended. There were also momments of  confusion amongst the Firestorm Armada players (other of the sucessful games of the company)  fearing the possibility of that game sharing the same fate (something that not happened, the game is still in good "health" and has recently seen a related game called 'Firestorm Planetfall')

Finally, the 21at of October 2015  the company finally announced the official date for the game to definitive ending, to much of the Uncharteds Seas community´s dwindling nubmers dismay.

This blog is all about keeping the game and hobby alive, by showcasing painted models, posting battle reports, commenting tactics and brewing some extra rules for the soon-to-be-defunct game..
