The Iron Sand Execution
The Iron Sand Execution
“Salt and iron hide many sins.”
— Hook · Kill
“Magistrate Darius slams a heavy purse of gold onto the scarred wooden table. Captain Farmoore is no mere pirate; he is a traitor to the Ironcliff municipality who bleeds our mines dry. Bring me his head, and the gold is yours.”
— Hook · Kill
The soot-heavy air of Ironcliff stings your lungs as Magistrate Vane leads you to the edge of the overlook. Below, the Sea of Galdora churns with metallic dust, and he points a gloved finger toward the jagged horizon where the pirate Dralin Farmoore awaits.
Magistrate Darius
The Magistrate is clinical and cold, treating the assassination like a business ledger entry that needs to be balanced. He offers half the gold upfront but demands Dralin's signet ring as proof of death.
Rumours
d3 · table- 01Dralin Farmoore was once the favorite protege of the Magistrate before he turned coat.
- 02The Iron Sand Archipelagos are magnetic, enough to pull a compass needle right off its pin.
- 03Shipments leaving Ironcliff have been lighter lately, though the miners are working harder than ever.
If Dralin dies, the Soulstones reache the mainland, allowing a necromantic cult to harvest thousands of souls. If Dralin lives and the party fails, Darius will frame the party for piracy.
Background Lore
Ironcliff is the primary source of heavy metals for the Tharion Kingdom. Recently, the Sea of Galdora has become a graveyard for merchant vessels. Captain Dralin Farmoore, sailing the brig Rust Maiden, has specific knowledge of the colony's naval patrols, allowing him to strike with impunity.
Dralin Farmoore is a rogue officer who stole a naval brig and turned to piracy, targeting iron ore shipments to fund a privateer empire in the archipelagos.
