Author Mel Odom intended the "Threat from the Sea" trilogy to have major implications for the Forgotten Realms setting: "Basically, an evil that has been buried for thousands of years has risen from the sea and turned against  the surface world. A lot happens in these books, and the map of Toril will not be the same afterward. A lot of people are going to be shocked and amazed." "Dungeons & Dragons" game sourcebook tie-ins were planned to coincide with the novels, allowing players to follow the events of the trilogy in their own campaigns. "Rising Tide" was released exactly eleven years since Odom's first book sale.
