Corsairs of the Violent Tides
Plot points/Scenes
Act one: The Fouling
The city-state of Pelgar stands tall along the coast of Fogcrossing, a bastion of civilization in the wilds near the sea. Due to its location on the island Pelgar is known for its Alchemists guild, known as the Flask watchers. Its port serves merchants and travellers from across The Violent tides, and ships laden with cargo from Losaria or Thereus often dock in its harbours prior to making their way south to Achra-Zarkan or east to the Auralian Empire. One such trader is a man named Kazamov Volga. A black-market smuggler turned nobleman, he deals in items of an exotic nature, frequently bringing home gifts for his beloved nephew from halfway across the world. On his most recent business trip he came back with a small drake. Although he intended it to be a pet and friend to the young boy, the boy’s mother, Ferra, had no desire to care for the thing and, unbeknownst to Kazamov, tossed it down the storm drain while telling the boy it ran away. After weeks of gorging itself on alchemical waste and filth, it has grown to nearly the size of a man. It has built a nest in the sewers causing the city’s waste to build up and overflow. “The Fouling” as the townsfolk have dubbed it, has forced all inside as the overwhelming odour that permeates the streets renders all who inhale it violently ill. Fearing for their city, the Council of Nine, the ruling body, has ordered a reward for anyone who can end The Fouling once and for all.Act Two: Journey to Mithril Isles
