With the last days of winter fading into memory, Sasserine has begun to stir again after slumbering for the winter. The thaws allowed the coastal ships to reestablish contact with the neighboring villages along the coast, followed soon by Ishtishia’s followers speaking of the return of fair weather for sailing in the open seas. The dockhands quickly finished the last of the winter repairs to both the ship and sail and waited for the orders to return to the sea.
As crews departed and returned from their initial voyages, short trips designed to ensure the ship was seaworthy more often than not, Sasserine’s population began its shift as well. Men who swore blood oaths to be faithful to a hopeful lass when the nights were cold and long felt the call of the sea and disappeared leaving behind the next generation of Sasserine’s sailors growing in their mother’s wombs and breaking the hearts of those who believed it would not happen to them.
Amid the influx of ships coming into Sasserine, the arrival of the Soul of Winter caused the most gossip among the dockhands. Under the command of Captain Wulgar Windrune, a stern dwarf who prided himself on the fact that his ship had never been boarded by either man or beast, the Soul of Winter had gained a reputation for only answering to the call of coin. The only type of task that he would not take was to bring arms against his dwarven brethren, and after the disappearance of the first three men who sought him for that task, he knew that none would come to him with that request again. The wagers were quickly placed as to what brought the dwarven ship into town and how long they would stay.
The town was also buzzing over the arrival of a true gleeman from Cauldron early in the day. Rumor had it that he would be performing at the Kraken’s Pearl, a former warehouse that a visiting gnome converted into a dockside bar and brewery. After a winter full of listening to the same tales and singing the same choruses, it will be worth the coppers that Hastel will charge to come in tonight to hear a master ply his trade.
As the sun begins to sink in the horizon, you finish your work for the day and head towards the Pearl.
[sblock]Well the game is going and feel free to add as much or as little to what you all did for the winter, or if you arrived recently with another ship. One caveat though, no members of the party arrived with the Soul of Winter.
