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.

As a bonus action, the Cunning Octopus can release a cloud of ink in a 20-foot radius. This area is heavily obscured for 1 minute, allowing the octopus to escape or reposition.

The octopus can grapple a creature within its reach. On a successful grapple, the target is restrained and takes 7 (2d6) bludgeoning damage at the start of its turn.
