Reclamation
A deal with the devil.
Though who the devil was in this particular situation was up for debate. Percival Thalsian the third met a man who boasted knowledge and assets. He had the means to steal back the ship that once belonged to his beloved -from a time before the hate, the pain, the evil- in exchange for the cargo it held.
Canon fire threatened the crew of the Sea Phoenix not to try and escape, curses crippled them into submission. A trio of warlocks boarded the ship with an entourage of demons at their heel. A show of power made by the newest cult of magicians to mark their place in the world, and show they were a force to be reckoned with.
Some crew members spat venom out of frustration, others tried to fight back. They were punished for their insolence. One mouthy shadowmancer who seemed to defy the odds eventually found herself at the mercy of a Vile Fiend that tossed her over board. A huntress watched as her beloved canine companion was destroyed from the inside out by a witches heinous cursed magic only to have Cypris toss her to the sea as well. By his mercy alone were the most prominent members of the crew granted freedom. The rest, were left to the host of demons to do with as they please; or to Caedera and her twisted fantasies. Light have mercy on the men and women who met her particular brand of fun.
Now, The Sea Phoenix was in the hands of Percival and his associates. The seas of Azeroth now subject to his will. His beloved to captain her, his demons to crew her...
...Light have mercy on the world.
