"I came up to the Sword Coast not expectin' much. Couple'a barebones trading ships, maybe a whale or two. Then, I raided Elabar Port, gambled the loot at Port Pon, gathered a massive crew at Korinnia, lost me leg to the Anti-Piracy League, almost lost me head to Neverwinter, and settled down Valcafalls. I got twenty busy years outta the Blasted North, and I wouldn't change a damned thing."
-Legendary pirate captain, Cagarrius Rex, describing his experiences in the Sword Coast
Hi everyone! Cerrania here, with a new production that's taken a little bit to come to fruition. As if you hadn't already guessed it, this roleplay is about pirates. Specifically, pirates in the Dungeons and Dragons universe! I love this setting. It offers a lot of diversity and, as many of my contributors and I have seen, is open to incredible amounts of worldbuilding. So, let's get down to it!
In this roleplay, you will be playing as a shipmate of a small fleet of pirates that is slowly recovering from an immense tragedy. You were previously a part of the Neverwinter Privateer Fleet, a collection of paid mercernaries-of-the-sea that raided and pillaged surrounding kingdoms and enemies of the Free City of Neverwinter. You had it damn good. Rich, powerful, and safe inside the Lord Protector's seas. But everything changed one fateful night. While your fleet was docked in Neverwinter's port, the Neverwinter Guard stormed your ships. They dragged your crewmates from their beds, and executed them on the dock. Their vessels were then burned, and their bodies were thrown into the sea to become fish food.
Luckily, some of you were either out drinking, whoring, gambling, fighting, or some combination thereof. Some of you were fortunate enough to hide from the Guard. Even less of you were tough enough to fight off the Guard. Regardless, you are now part of the survivors who managed to escape port that night. And now you must gather your resources, your crew, and your heart, and set off once again to make a living, and avenge your fallen comrades.
It's time to go on the best damn pirating spree The Sword Coast has ever seen.
The roleplay will begin during the Night of Neverdeath. We will gather our forces and make alliances from there, and then move on towards the open sea. The roleplay will be fairly open-world, but there will be certain antagonists and zones which will trigger major events within the story.
