0 - Maiden Voyage

 

The Owlbear departed the port of Galecrada at the first light of dawn. The trip to Uxmal was expected to take roughly a week. As the ship left port Captain Fenn assembled the crew to introduce a late passenger, a certain Atogori Higari, the arrival of whom Horatius noticed late last night.

Following this Fenn requested an officers meeting in his cabin. New crew members were surprised to discover that Fenn was sharing his cabin with his partner Selena. She was sitting on the bed in the corner during the entire meeting. As it turns out, the woman has been sailing with Fenn for years now, so the crew mostly came to terms with having her onboard by now.

Fenn gave the customary briefing regarding the planned voyage. The ship was carrying cargo for the Sea of the Dead Trading Association as usual, mostly grain, fruits and other produce to Uxmal. The fare paid by Atogori for the trip would be divided equally among the crew as was customary. Finally, Fenn provided opportunity for his officers to raise questions or concerns, of which there were none and the meeting was quickly dismissed.

The first few hours of the journey flew by uneventfully which allowed those onboard to mingle a little, though not everyone was open for discussions. The new passenger Atogori seemed to have been carried far from his home as evidenced by the exotic style of his equipment. He claimed to be a sellsword currently traveling the isles on the lookout for work.

Yet it is also said that the Mist hides a wondrous relic that grants a single wish to whoever finds it. Once upon a time, the islands were home to a thriving civilization. But the glory of the Wak'na Empire faded overnight; their gods vanished without a trace, and so the ziggurats of Khorakas now stand empty and silent. Over the course of nearly a century, nature has slowly reclaimed the walls of the ruined city, and the remnants of the Wak'na people are now forced to seek refuge in the swamps of Uxmal. In the vacated territories, the great powers of nearby Gorvik and Shadon have both established colonies. Rel Morran, a high prie...
