A very brief explanation of Black Sea’s kingdoms

(I’ll probably go in depth abt them in another post, btw)

Dristor - Mostly known for it’s army and imperialistic ways. Has recently conquered Choel, and Acalia is quickly falling under their blades too. Their armies are strong and skilled, and no one knows what they are. It’s population is mostly humans, and faes are strongly oppressed. 

Khanao - Mostly known for their precious stones and fine fabrics. Though the north is cursed with merciless droughts and countless deserts, is one of the wealthiest kingdoms of the south. Ruled by a five different councils. It’s population is very mixed, being one of the most accepting of half-faes. 

Choel - Mostly known for it’s revolutionary agriculture. Used to have an elected diarchy, which was replace by two permanent dynasties when Dristor took over. It’s population is mostly humans. 

Acalia - Mostly known for it’s precious gems, beautiful landscapes, and strong armies. Acalia thrived for centuries under the rule of four different royal families, but with the recent invasion of Dristor, only two families remain to battle against the enemy. It’s population is made up almost 100% of faes.

Yalis - Mostly known for it’s spices and incredible gastronomy. With the recent invasions to their neighbor, Yalis has not moved a finger to help their centuries long commercial partner. There are no record of humans stepping on Yalis’ territory.

The unseen courts/kingdoms/clans: Groups of faes that refuse to follow the rules of their monarchs. The most famous would be the Redcapes clan, The Shadow Court and The Small People Kingdoms.

Pirate Lord | Captain of the Firewrath | Temporary corsair for the Veyra kingdom

“I propose a toast!”, The Firewrath’s captain voice was bubbly, the end result of drinking so much cheap beer. “Here’s to thieving and lying, to cheating and fighting. And for the hope to always having our cups filled with booze.”

Setting

The Mares Archipelago

Summary

In the slums of the coastal city of Keles, one of the most dangerous pirate the Nissius ocean had seen hides. Nessa Feye and her crew, the men and women of the Firewrath ship, were once the fear of every sailor, but after the fall of the royal family of Keodall, their names became nothing but a scared whisper and a reminder about what kind of monsters lurk above the waters.

Until now.

After the royal guards get their hands in the original crew, Nessa has no hopes of making out of the trials alive . But when she was offered a suicide mission in exchange for their freedom, she is no fool to turn it down. After all, between the dungeon or the ocean floor, she knew the ocean would be a better coffin. Her mission was fairly simple: kill the traitor and bring back what he stole.

But things aren’t as simple anymore. Something forgotten is trying to rise from it’s grave, and Nessa soon realizes she doesn’t knows what she’s getting herself into. But between keeping her head or dooming everything she knows, Nessa might fail to pick the right answer.

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,

And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;

And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,

And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking,

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide

Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;

And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,

And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,

To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;

And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,

And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

-John Masefield

The amazing concept art of Kobe Sek for Skull and Bones

[givethispromptatry]

The scene in front of him was an endless sea that looked like a sheet of glass blanketing the world. The only thing he could see was the reflection of the stars above him. 

It all made him feel incredibly small. As it was supposed to.
