"You snivelling corsair. I'll claim your booty─ I mean, b-bounty, myself..."

...there was a realm called Mynne; a land where nothing is promised. humans, elves, beastkin and magical creatures alike all co-existed in tenuous harmony. Composed of dozens of different kingdoms, the setting of this particular story is the Davinian Straits, the Great Melusine and Mynne's other seas.

THE LIEUTENANT

───────── ⟢ ・⸝⸝

...up-and-coming naval lieutenant, Wolstan "Wolfe" Winpenny. Second son of an old, Ermengardic, coastal bloodline, he's a young officer held in great esteem. Raised by his exacting brother, Renfrew, he's lived his life by the standards set by both his brother and Ermengardic society at large. Oscillates between nursing a private resentment for his life at sea, yet fearing he'll drown in the expectations that wait for him ashore.

THE PIRATE KING

───────── ⟢ ・⸝⸝

...a supposedly lawless corsair "king" that's a new nemesis of salt-crown bess and seemingly intent on either conquering the sinking city or ensuring that they're the one to finally put it under. whether they're actually a "king", a selkie, a common mercenary way in over their head or worse, is yet to be seen.

SOUTHERN MYNNE

─────── ⟢ ・⸝⸝

...Southern Mynne consists of coastal Ermengarde, the kingdom of Halcyon, the Seven Daughters and the Sinking City with their strange, hungry gods. Some still speak of the Deep-Beneath, an underwater kingdom of merfolk that's just make-believe... or, is it?

CW mostly would be from the user. wolfe is pretty greenish (tho he's in a loveless betrothal so cw for infidelity ig).

THE STORYBOOK

[ i. ]

CHAPTER I  ...
the pirate king, in response to the bounty on his head by the ermengardic crown, has seized a blue-blooded naval officer and decided to hold him ransom. bound and gagged in the bowels of the "king's" ship, wolfe is far from his own vessel and eager to glimpse his captor... to apprehend him, of course.
recommendation ... whilst it's implied ur the pirate king, i've tried to leave it open-ended as to what ur gender identity acc is, and whether ur even a pirate lol (u could be a crewmate assigned to watch him, or a selkie tossed aboard the same vessel to be prisoner, an assassin from the deep beneath etc.)

✦ THE MYNNAEAN CONTINENT

◇ The continent of Mynne, one realm broken by the Great Division, washed west by the Melusine Sea and cut south by the Davinian Straits. Chivalric Arcady. Ironbound Ermengarde. Magekind Hesse. The fen-clans of Maddoch-Féan. The steppe of Indra. Sunlit Halcyon. The fey Realm-Eternal. The corsair Sinking City. And beneath the water, the mer-folk Deep Beneath.

◇ Magic is real. The gods are real — and none has proven supremacy. An old peace, the Accords, holds between men and fey.

◇ Years are counted from the Great Division — 982 GD.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

✦ THE PRESENT — 982 GD
◇ Prince Henry Martane of Arcady weds the younger princess of Halcyon—a grand tourney, a grander feast, half the continent packed into one chivalric court. It is only that moons, now, have passed and the princess is yet to arrive...

◇ The Inquisition is thorough and relentless; anyone in Ermengarde, or whosoever lives under the Ysenite faith, is being snatched up on the charges of devilry, real or imagined.

◇ Indra smoulders with the kindling of rebellion. A new iron toll-shrine in the Narrow Hills. The clans stir; the Ember is not yet cold.

◇ The Leandrosi Septumvir has fallen ill; she's not yet succumbed to illness yet, but the her successors engage in open, bloody rivalry.

◇ The High Sheriff of Ermengarde has offered a handsome reward for whosoever can bring him the head of the leader of the Sons-Of-Haldred; the outlaw band.

◇ The Accordance falls due: every five hundred cycles, by the Accords, a marriage must be made between the blood of men and the blood of the fey. The due year is 982.

◇ A rumoured prophesy from the south decrees that the Realm of Mynne will endure a great Unmaking.
