Join the crew of the Fool's Gold on a quest to the Isle of Shattered Dreams where some say the Black Jackal stored the plunder of decades dishonest raiding. Beware the deadly and mysterious magic of the elder Ffolk, the cannons of Her Majesty's Navy, and the black hearts of yer greedy breathren and mebbe some of ye will return rich and soaked in gold.Cap’n Jac Scarlet- Cap’n Jac was once a leftenant in the Royal Navy until he led a failed mutiny aboard the HMS Truculent.  He was court marshaled and condemned to death, yet escaped during a debtor’s riot.  Jac is a master mariner and has a reputation for frustrating the Royal Navy at every turn.  He has preyed heavily on the merchant houses that support those who have “corrupted” the ranks of a once fine fleet.Dirty Anne Rackham- She may be the most attractive woman to grace the free waters, and she knows it.  She can swear worse than any low-bred sailor and has been known to reduce men to quivering idiots on a whim.  However, do not get the wrong idea.  Anne will shoot the first man who thinks he is good enough to earn a place in her bunk.  Rumor says that she had a family in the cascade isles before the Dark Star Trading Company moved in and turned the population into de facto slaves.  She has been known to be a deadly spy and assassin and inflicts pain on the merchant houses whenever the opportunity arises.(taken) Crazy Bess Larkin- The Widowmaker (Alenda)- Bess is feared throughout the known waters.  She was the only survivor of the Anhur Massacre and was forced to watch as everyone she knew was butchered by the merchant marines.  Their crime?  The town was short its sugar quota and an example needed to be made.  Bess was left alive to explain the “failure” to the neighboring villages.  At the age of 12, she joined the crew of the Dark Mercy under the command of the “Adder” Bill Morgan, a distant relative, and proceeded to hunt down every marine who participated in the massacre.  Most consider Bess to be highly unstable, although those who know her well call her the “trickster.”(taken) Iron Tom Straw (Codemonkey)- Tom is a tough, brute of a scoundrel.  People have been known to wet themselves while under his brutal gaze.  He is a feared fighter and has been known to shrug off blows that would kill a lesser man.  Tom fought in the colonial militia in his youth and was one of the few who survived the war.  His wife was taken by a magistrate to pay for his treason against the crown and died when she tried to escape.  He is a hard man, but loyal to his compatriots.Lord Pierce Kelley- Pierce is an enigma.  He was born to a wealthy baron and was sent to the royal military academy for a bright future serving Her Majesty, Emilie d’arlaine.  However, on his first midshipmen cruise, he went AWOL and made his way to Port Kilby in the free isles.  He brought with him a wealth of information on the plans of the Royal Navy and money enough to outfit his own vessel, the “Fool’s Gold.”  He promptly recruited Jac Scarlet to command the vessel and has participated in several actions against the crown, although he has still not earned the trust of everyone in the free waters.</blockquote>
