The Ghosts of the Gods

Silence is bliss

CobaltDM - October 20, 2022

The Ghosts of the Gods are a band of pirates located in the northern section of The Nassa Archipelago. As a collective of thirteen captains and their crews, the organization is organized around collective power, wealth, and one common belief: the world is better without the Eleven (see: The Sleeping Gods). However, without the dedication of Baron's Blood or the resources of The Black Reapers, the group has been losing territory steadily over the past few years. To help combat this, they have recently been importing as much new Tekoran technology as they can afford.

Mandated Antitheism

No temples, churches, or organized religions are allowed in Jorm or its surrounding settlements. The leaders of the Ghosts believe that clinging to the old ways of religion and reverence hold back mortalkind's progress, as evidenced by the recent surge in technological advancement that is slowly spreading its way to Nassa. Some of the captains take this attitude to an extreme, and have been known to slaughter priests and clerics they come across without hesitation.

A Rising Threat

The Ghosts have had two major victories in recent months after two years of progressively losing ground. First, a surprise attack against a Black Reaper settlement along the western edge of their territory has sent the island of Vrakkon into disarray, relieving some of the pressure on supply lines from The Republic of Tekoril. Then, a captain from the Silver Scoundrels lost his ship and most of his crew to sabotage when an explosive was smuggled aboard his ship docked in A'vfono, an act the Ghosts later took credit for. The undetected and highly lethal nature of these two attacks has put nearby factions on high alert.
