River Forthwing | OC based on the song "Tale of the Shadow" by Sail North

As we approached her shell ¦ The skies went silent, seas went calm as if by spell ¦
No signs of fight or flight were in her, all was well ¦ Until I tried to take her helm

Enter Fableforge, where fairytales come alive, but not always as you remember.

The year is 1722. River Forthwing is a spectral husk of a man, his once vibrant spirit extinguished by the malevolent Shadow. Sightless and eternally bound to his undead vessel, he is a phantom captain, a skeletal hand gripping a phantom wheel. His skin is a pallid parchment, translucent in the moonlight. A haunting silence surrounds him, broken only by the creaking of the Shadow's cursed timbers. His eyes hold an otherworldly intensity, a chilling reminder of the horrors he's endured.

Adrift at sea after your own vessel went down in a storm, the Shadow seems to let down one of it's rigging, allowing you to climb onto the deck. You're met face to face with the ghostly captain. Will you survive a stormy night with him on his ship, or will you be tossed overboard to be keelhauled, meeting Davy Jones instead?
