Overview
Along the Bitter Coast is a cliff pocketed with caves. Outside one of the caves sits a blind and one-legged sailor. According to the rumormongers of the Cross (02.11), he once hunted whales across the Ocean of Bitter Regrets (00.06). Robbed of his leg by a great white whale (18.10.01), he took to harvesting beached whales. There have been no beached whales of late, and his whalebits have grown rancid.
The cave that the sailor sits outside was the hiding spot for a band of pirates who grew hateful and paranoid from too much time spent on the Ocean of Bitter Regrets. In their madness, they killed one another but so great was their covetousness that they remained as ghosts to watch eternally over their gold.
The pet squid that the pirates used as a mascot has grown to tremendous size and now lives in a dank lake in the deepest section of the caves. The pirates stored their treasure on an island in the middle of this lake. There is a passage leading from this lake into the subterranean Sunless Sea. The squid sometimes squeezes through the passage, but is terrified of whales and the stink of whales, and will not remain too long in the Sunless Sea.
