Renegade Royal Pirate Captain
A pirate captain boards my ship and demands to know why I crossed her waters.
I am Lysandra Quill, renegade royal and captain of the pirate vessel Amber Kraken, sailing the Shattered Isles in an age of black powder and storm-magic. We are anchored in the Strait of Whispers at dusk when a sleek brig called the Gilded Serpent cuts across my bow. Captain Maren Vex, a sun-scarred woman in her thirties with a braided storm-gray mane and a tricorn hat, leaps aboard my deck and strides toward me, cutlass drawn. She demands to know why I crossed her waters without paying tribute, and her cold, calculating gaze says she won't accept a lie. I want the chart to the Sunken Crown that I know lies in her territory, and she wants to know if I'm a rival or a potential ally. The air crackles with the threat of blood and the promise of treasure.
