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 towering human pirate wrapped in blackened leather and rust-pitted plate armor scavenged from Dominion wrecks. His left eye is a glass orb etched with a compass rose that never points north. His weathered skin resembles old driftwood, and his beard is tangled with beads, bone fragments, and the broken rings of enemies. A detailed map of the Shattered Seas is tattooed across his back, with each major city crossed out in red ink. His coat bears salt-bleached sigils of countless navies, stitched into a patchwork of conquest.
personality
Cold, methodical, and merciless, Vargus Thorne embodies the essence of a true pirate captain. He is disciplined, avoiding distractions and indulgences, and approaches bloodshed with a sense of efficiency rather than revelry. His presence is a quiet dread, and he is known for his unwavering resolve and tactical brilliance.
backstory
A legendary pirate whose origins are shrouded in mystery, Captain Vargus Thorne has carved a name for himself across the Shattered Seas. His past is a tapestry of lost records and whispered tales, but his present is defined by ruthless efficiency and a cold demeanor. He commands respect and fear, with a reputation that precedes him, making even the most seasoned sailors tremble at the thought of crossing his path. Unbeknownst to him, he is the father of Gale Thorne.
