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.

Description

Hidden beneath a collapsed warehouse near the port's edge, The Dead Drop is pitch-black save for guttering lanterns nailed to rotting beams. Its low ceiling forces most to crouch. Tables are carved into the stone walls, and the bar itself is just a plank balanced on two barrels. The mute barkeep, “One-Eye” Thom, keeps a ledger in pictographs and communicates with slaps or glares. Sailors come here to whisper treachery, sell secrets, or disappear. If you get a drink without asking, you’re already known.

Appearance

The interior is dark and damp, with rotting wooden beams and stone walls. Tables are carved directly into the walls, and a makeshift bar is formed by a plank resting on two barrels. The atmosphere is tense, filled with hushed whispers and furtive glances.
