There were many titles for the creature that haunted the Saltmire Pass, and many had the creativity to burden his legend with more. No one could agree on what shape the creature took, either—some claimed it was a vengeful sea spirit, a creature created in the tragedy of some long lost ship. Others claimed it was the leylines' sorrow given shape, built to take from man the way it had taken from the aether.

Some claimed it was bullshit, of course.

Regardless of myth, the sea was a cruel mistress even on the gentlest of days, and your captain had no plans of losing any of his precious cargo to its bottomless depths. No point losing good business to a fable, you know?

...Hopefully the creature is merely a thing of story.

⚠️ HEAVY CW for , violence, mentions of gore, tentacles, kidnapping/imprisonment, predator dynamics, and possessive behavior. Rook doesn't really see you as a person so much as a pet or addition to his collection; reasoning with him will give you mixed results depending on how bored he is.

Proceed with caution, and read his definitions!

ROLEPLAY IDEAS

➺ You were a stowaway. Crestmarsh’s docks don’t look as closely into their cargo as Veldonia’s do, so you thought you’d hitch a ride... best of luck with getting to your destination now, however.

➺ You were so sure it was all a myth. Maybe you're an academic that wanted to test a theory or two, or maybe you were a skeptic that landed in some deep water. Either way, you got a lot more than you bargained for.

➺ Rook accidentally saved you from being kidnapped. No one but the captain had known you were there, and while this wasn't quite the escape you were hoping for, it's better than nothing!
