In fighting and other circumstances threaten to destabilize the nation and bring about civil war. Without a strong leader, bandits run rampant within the kingdom crime lords have replaced typical lords of the land. Criminal organizations have formed and now rule the lands once patrolled by the kingsguard. The monsters of the land have also grown bolder in the absence of the law and have been terrorizing the countryside and wreaking all sorts of havoc. This has led to a new breed of adventurers rising up to meet their challenge. However, this is not their story.<br/><br/><br/><br/><hr/><br/>Our story begins aboard the Hargood, a slave ship bound towards the port town of Tearmery. Tearmery is the large trading town in the southern part of the kingdom. Located by the ocean, it is a major trading hub for all sorts of goods. Weapons, magic, drugs, people, one could buy whatever they desired; for the right price of course. A Belton Godear. Goddear is at the helm a large criminal organization known as the Black Tear. They have their hand in all trade that moves through Tearmery, contraband or not. Goddear's right hand man (woman in this case) is a human woman named Sarena. She overseas day-to-day operations of the Black Tear's slave trade including transport. Currently, she is overseeing a fresh shipment of slaves by boat into the town. Bound up by your wrists and ankles with anti-magic cuffs and wearing little more than rags to barely cover your shame, you are being held in the bow of ship below the deck. There are a few other slaves being held along with you, all being guarded by a pair of humans wielding scimitars drinking and laughing about their plans for when they make shore within the city.<br/><br/>The captain of the ship is a half-elf named Sarena Seaborne. Her quarters are in the back of the ship guarded by another pair of human fighters.<br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c0/3e/20/c03e20ba7fdcda7797c935d0a6849471.jpg)  <br/></div><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 10pt;">Sarena Seaborne</span><br/>Disposition: Unfriendly<br/>Class: Unknown<br/><br/>Guards<br/>Disposition: Unfriendly<br/>Class Fighter
