Lore
many years ago there was a fearsome crew of pirates, who sailed the waters upon a ship known as the Rum Runner. Their goals in life were simple, they wanted nothing more than what any other man would ask for: freedom, riches, some good brawls, a hardy meal, wenches and mass amounts of alcohols. They sailed the seas, killing any one who had gotten in their way of these goals. Though some would join them instead of facing death, and soon they formed their own small fleet. The Head War Baron, knew that to any other ships passing by they were an unstoppable force, but one day the skies suddenly turned blacker than they had ever seen, and a massive maelstrom was heading right toward their vessels, they made an attempt to escape the mighty storm when suddenly a Great Beast rose from the dark depths of the sea. They knew there was no escaping the beast. One by one the beast would grab members of the crew and tear them limb from limb, never in their lives had any of them seen such a fowl beast, never before have they faced such a powerful foe. They fought valiantly but the beast seemed to be too strong, a loud roar would be heard from the beast as the cannons would make contact with its barren scaly skin until finally the beast finally collapsed and sank to the bottom of the sea, but it was too late. The ships had taken far more damage than they could handle, and they began to sink along with the beast. the Admiral had survived the attack but he knew that he would go down with his ship, until suddenly a mysterious man in black robes covered in what appeared to be various demonic symbols appeared. The man had a very eerie presence about him, the Head War Baron aked the man who he was, the man then said in a deep and almost echoing voice "Who I am means nothing, i have come to make a deal with you, if you accept my terms, I will raise up your ships and your men, and you shall be granted eternal life, but if you don't, i will leave, and you will die here." The Admiral then walked up to the man, looked at him then said "and what's the catch?" the man then looked at him then said "you will work for me now, along with a group of mercenaries known as Witherwood Company, you will fight by their side in the land of Fortriu and together you will become an unstoppable force," the man then handed the Admiral a stone tablet with a strange symbol of an eye on it, the man then said "when you find them, bring them this, it will be a symbol of what has transpired this day." the man then raised one hand, then suddenly all the sunken ships had risen from the deep with their crew on board, as if no battle had taken place. the man then looked at the Admiral then said "now, make way towards Fortriu" the man then disappeared without a trace. The crew the set sail for Fortriu knowing that they had a long quest ahead of them and many battles to win. in time they eventually did find Witherwood Company and join them on the field of battle whenever they were called to action.
