The Golden Age of PiracyWealth, fame, power; what drives a man to crime? The answer, opportunity. When the Ruined Sea grew littered with treasure fleets, so too did the jolly rogers litter the horizons! The misshapen and downtrodden, the adventurous and daring, and the bloodthirsty and cruel: what drives these men to raid upon the sea is the mere fact that they can. Those in search of fortune are sure to find it in the precursor relic laden hulls of Eborthili ships; those seeking mystery and exploration can bravely venture into the mists; and those in search of a fight will be sure to get one! Beware, sailors, for there’s pirates everywhere and a pirate in everyone.

Haunted HullsHundreds of hands clean the decks, load the cannons, tie the ropes, and attend to other repetitious necessities for sail and plunder. Day in, day out; clear or stormy - a perfect recipe for haunts on the high seas! By carving arcane runes into our hulls, we passively attract the spirits of fallen friends and foes for our own gains: we can swindle enemies into revealing secrets, remind fallen crew of their unfinished chores aboard the ship, and even release these spirits unto the hereafter to create create dense, ghostly fog.

Monsters of the OceanDeep, deep within the abyss of the ocean lie creatures of myth and nightmares, yet not all remain dormant. Gerudian krakens pale in comparison to the tendrils that extend from blackened waves in the Ruined Sea, Dreadnought Whales littered with golden scars break ships in half within their jaws, and creatures with no name leave not even the wrecks of ships behind. These beasts and the pirates of the Ruined Sea are two sides of a coin, bound to each other as a pirate is bound to treasure. A pirate unprepared to fight for their life is unlikely to make it far in these seas, a kind of pirate you’re unlikely to find here. So too then, should the beasts be wary, for each side of the coin be as predator as it be prey.

The Black SpotWhile their crews suffer our raids, cosy merchants and pampered magistrates enjoy safety from our ghostly reach; no longer. With a personal object, a signature or stamp, and a lock of hair, our shipmages craft a hex that marks a target’s hand with a black spot until the next new moon. While the spot lasts, we divine any wealth owned by that person that touches the sea and weighs more than an albatross. Let no booty escape our sight!

Where None SailDotted lines and scrawlings on paper only take you so far in the Ruined Sea, for there is no true map. When the waves crest tall as the Thorned Lady of Isobelin, what good will a map do you? When a whirlpool sucks you under and you rise once more in unfamiliar seas, what good will that charted course do you? It is the pirate captains who recognize that they do not make demands of the sea, but are merely subjects to its whim. With winds at their backs, the magic of the Ruined Sea can be navigated. When one looks for pirates, you must remember to not only be vigilant of the horizons, but of the skies and the waves as well.

Many Tendrils of the KrakenAs reavers, our success relies on unequal odds, rapid speed, and rampant confusion. But what do we do against imposing batteries, organised defenders, and vigilant watchers? Until now, little. Until. Now. Binding powerful spirits into a perpetual spell, our shipmages concoct a radiant green fog so potent that it wraps around moored ships and locked structures like a kraken’s inescapable tentacles. We call it the Kraken’s Kiss, for it tugs all into its embrace before its misty beak snuffs out all life. When it finally releases its grip, streets lay empty, ships flounder abandoned in the waves, and few souls live to tell the tale; living souls, anyway. Hauntings, on the other hand, skyrocket after the Kraken’s Kiss blights an area, creating perfect word of mouth about our deadly miasmic weapon.
