No one can remember a time when the Imperium Undying still sailed to the Shrouded Lands, but on Prow’s Beach the bleached skeletons of their ships can still be seen.
These ships had figureheads carved of sapient pearwood, a tree with self-awareness and an abiding love of home. The figureheads can still speak, and will do so to visitors who polish them, scrape the barnacles from their hulls or otherwise stir them from their long slumber.
The figureheads are carved in a number of shapes, but the goat, the bearded man and the lizard are the most talkative (the lizard believes itself to be a dragon, and is wounded by suggestions that it is not). A walrus figurehead also talks at length, but it has been crudely sawn from its boat and its ramblings are mad.
Hooks
- What caused these ships to be beached here?
- Does the Imperium Undying survive in any form to this day?
- Who wants to restore the ships and return them to the water?
