The Deadman's Tithe

In the realm of Rondo, a chilling superstition grips the hearts of seafarers departing from Deadman's Drop. Known as "The Deadman's Tithe," it involves paying a tribute before leaving the bay to avoid encountering malevolent sea creatures that haunt the ocean depths.
  Originating from ancient times, this tradition was believed to appease powerful sea guardians. Sailors offer precious gems, artifacts, or gold and silver, heaved overboard as a symbolic tithe. Ignoring this offering is said to invoke the wrath of the sea creatures, leading to calamity, misfortune, or even death.
  Despite the lack of concrete evidence, the belief holds significant weight among pirates and sailors on Deadman's Drop. Countless tales of ships vanishing or returning in tatters reinforce this superstition. Before departure, crews gather on deck for the solemn tithe ceremony, hoping to ensure a safe journey across the treacherous waters of Rondo.
Throughout generations, The Deadman's Tithe remains an enduring tradition, bridging the gap between the people of Deadman's Drop and the enigmatic sea creatures that guard their waters. As long as pirates sail the perilous seas, this chilling superstition will endure, etching its place in the lore and legends of the chaotic pirate haven.
of late it has become more common to pay the tithe with the Avatar of Shar being rumour to attack those who don't in vengeance..
