The Last Dock
The Last Dock
“The sea remembers every soul it swallows.”
— Hook · Roleplay-heavy Voyage
“Captain Elara Veyn waits for you at the end of a rotting pier, her gaze fixed on the churning Auglin Sea. She claims your gold is all she needs to secure your passage to the forbidden Murkmire Isle. Step aboard, she says, for the tides do not wait for the living, and the dead are already calling your names.”
— Hook · Roleplay-heavy Voyage
The Silent Star sits low in the water, its dark timber slick with salt and the smell of ancient rot. Captain Elara Veyn stands at the gangplank, a single lantern casting long, flickering shadows behind her.
Captain Elara Veyn
She is cold and efficient, occasionally tilting her head as if listening to someone standing right behind her.
Rumours
d3 · table- 01Captain Veyn has not aged a day in twenty years, some say she is already a ghost.
- 02The Auglin Sea has grown restless, with sailors reporting ships sailing upside down in the clouds.
- 03Murkmire was once a paradise before an ancient king tried to banish death itself.
If the party fails to survive the voyage or reach the artifact, the trapped souls of thousands will be consumed by the island's hunger, and Elara's sanity will finally shatter.
Background Lore
The Auglin Sea is a graveyard of empires. Years ago, Elara lost her family and crew to the mists of Murkmire. She survived but was cursed with the ability to hear the dead. Recently, the spirits have shifted from mourning to demanding she bring specific strangers to the island to trigger its awakening.
Captain Veyn is a veteran navigator taking payment to ferry the party through the dangerous Auglin Sea to Murkmire for their own undisclosed reasons.
