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

Beneath a fake bookshop sits the Den — a sweltering gambling pit lit by amber lanterns and choked with cigar smoke. A cracked hourglass on the wall gives the place its name. Tables thrum with dice games, Dominion playing cards, and “shells & bones.” Vol Rembrin, the one-eyed Aurelian ex-commander who runs it, watches from a throne-like chair, wrapped in a wine-stained officer’s cloak. Cheaters vanish mid-game. Winnings are paid in coin, contraband, or favors.

Appearance

The Den is dimly lit, with amber lanterns casting flickering shadows across the smoke-filled room. The walls are adorned with faded military memorabilia, and the air is thick with tension and the scent of cheap cigars. Tables are crowded with eager gamblers, and the cracked hourglass on the wall ticks ominously, a reminder of the fleeting nature of luck.
