The Opening

“The High Chief towers over you, his shadow swallowing your small forms whole. His daughter, Kaya, has been missing since the first light, and the foreign ships on the horizon suggest a dark fate. If you find her and return her to his side, you shall have anything within his power to grant.”

— Hook · rescue

Set the Scene

The High Chief's Longhouse. The air is thick with the smell of cedar and the heavy, panicked breathing of a father who has lost his greatest prize.

High Chief Tanos

Tanos is a wall of muscle and traditionalist pride who views the PCs as expendable but useful tools because of their ability to move through the undergrowth unnoticed.

If Kaya is not returned, the Chief will launch a suicidal war that will lead to the tribe's extinction. If Kaya stays with the colonials, they will find the gold and destroy the valley's ecosystem to mine it.

Ticking Clock·The Tide-Breaker. Silas Vance's flagship sets sail for the Empire in 48 hours. If Kaya is on it when the anchor rises, she is lost forever.

Background Lore

The Crimson Coast has seen 'Steel-Men' before in legends, but Silas Vance's expedition is the first to actually build a palisade. They seek a fabled gold-vein known only to the Royal Line of the Red-Bark tribe.

What the World Knows

Princess Kaya has been abducted by the sea-demons who arrived in floating fortresses. They likely intend to sacrifice her or take her across the Great Blue.
