The Shattered Seas

H
HollowLT

An ocean of islands, pirates, and danger—Dominion law fades and treasure calls.


Author's Note: This world is designed to capture the thrill of classic pirate adventures—swashbuckling fights, buried treasure, and treacherous alliances. It blends grounded seafaring with hints of the supernatural, where ancient sea gods may stir beneath the waves and cursed gold can change a man's fate. The Aurelian Dominion provides a powerful force to push against, creating tension between freedom and order. Players are encouraged to forge their own pirate legend, whether as rebels, mercenaries, or self-made kings of the sea. Morality is fluid, loyalty is earned, and the sea shows no mercy. Every island holds a secret, every rival ship could be the last thing you see, and every decision has the power to turn the tide.

appearance
A slight and unassuming man with short, messy dark hair and pale skin dotted with faint scars. He wears a long, faded coat with a high collar, concealing tools and weapons. His sharp, calculating eyes are always watching and listening, allowing him to blend into a crowd with ease.
personality
Calm, secretive, and always two steps ahead, Rook thrives in environments where information is power. He speaks in a low, almost inaudible voice, and he’s known for his uncanny ability to gather secrets and manipulate situations with subtlety. Rook is patient and prefers to let others do the heavy lifting while he reaps the benefits of their labor. Though charming, he is ultimately self-serving and never fully trustworthy.
backstory
Once a low-ranking officer in the Dominion's intelligence network, Rook became disillusioned with the bureaucracy and corruption of his superiors. He escaped the Dominion’s grasp and became a sought-after informant, selling secrets to the highest bidder. Now, he works with pirate crews, feeding them valuable information on shipping routes, naval patrols, and hidden treasures. He operates with the belief that information is the most valuable commodity on the seas—and he controls a wealth of it.
