When Ren falls from his university ark in the stratosphere and through the Veil, a massive layer of smog and rolling clouds that has enveloped the world, he expects to find a world of savage monsters and fiends. Instead, he discovers thriving communities between the sunless seas of the Veil. Making a bond with an injured bird, he journeys into uncertainty at a nearby port town before sailing further into a world of pirates and criminals called The Parade . Roped into a scheme after he falls by Robin, captain of the pirate airship Pigeon and her ragtag crew of misfits, Ren will help them try to get their first mate, who may already be dead. Ren will meet holy men and fighting cooks while trying to learn what life above the Veil never taught him, in the process finding a world of humanity under the cut throat survival and greed of the corporatized world above.
