cerak at'thul

The sun entered. A warm guests as ever creeping along the cold stone and stained straw of his cell. The bars on his window, little more than a square hole, were the same as on his door and the round portal on the ceiling that gave unfiltered access to whatever he was doing from the platform...

Argul Atoll Just after Sundown... It was a hard day of labor for Erendrial, sweat dripping down his back like it always did after days like this. Even when there was no planting or harvesting to do, the Master continued their efforts - dreams of being a Pirate Lord ever constant on the greed...

The man known as the One-Eyed Devil of the Sea was really named Emil Hazelhurst. Hardly a terrifying name, it was no wonder that he preferred for everyone to call him One-Eyed Devil although in a few seedy brothels, he would let slip his first name. Tracking Emil hadn’t been too difficult...

The tavern at Cerak-AtThul was an absolute mess, drunkards strewn on the floors and passed out on tables. Talia found herself in a corner, and she was picking at her teeth with a fishbone. Toothless Bill was talking to potential recruits to come sail aboard her ship The Salty Bitch, and he was...

They sent forth men to battle, But the men are put to rest in the seas; And home, to claim their welcome, Come ashes on the breeze. _____________________________________________ It had been 2 weeks since they began to sail down the Baal-Asha river, and towards Cerak. Even he was amazed at...

23 Years Ago. Cerak At'Thul. The Town of Cerak. ___________________________________ It was dark. It seemed, come day or night, the shanty town of Cerak that cowered below the dark tower sat in eternal twilight. The town itself wouldn't have been complimented by the sunshine anyhow. Every home...

The Wild Markets of Cerak were exactly as one would expect of them. Dirty, putrid and full of filth, apt terms to describe both the setting and its inhabitants. Across the uneven square that held this unholy practice, and in no particular order, were numerous ramshackle tents signalling the...

Trahaearn kicked himself continually as he was drug forward towards the auction block. He had remained compliant for the majority of this trip. Trip may have been the wrong word exactly for the situation that he found himself in. He had truly been a fool for listening to the idle chatter of men...

Same as usual, Muirin was travelling on behalf of a bounty. This time in particular, the call of gold brought him just about as far as he'd ever gone before. He had visited Cerak At'thul thrice during his career as a mercenary, but two of those occasions were more for pleasure. This fourth...

Méchanteau has had enough with the decrepit and woeful state of Cerak At'Thu, as the prime place for the sale of sentient goods and similar shady ventures it is his plan to overthrow the powers that be and remodel it into a proper city-state where trade and industry can truly flourish without...

“All in a day’s work. Good job, men.” A smirk on her face and a bloody blade held in her hand, surrounded by several other questionable-looking men. This would typically be quite the shocking scene, but this was a rather common sight in Cerak At’Thul. The place was a haven for the worst type of...

Hello! I've just created my character and am looking for people to interact with! Could be something trivial like finding having a chat in a library, or something more exciting like an excursion into a bandit cave. It could even be a ship battle, or at least a battle involving a ship. I'm open...

The water guzzled in his lungs as fought to expel it from his body. A hacking cough wracked the drenched boy as he vomited up what could have been a cup or so of ocean water. The refreshing sea air chilled his throat as he drew in a few desperate breaths, and it was only after a few long second...

Aurelia has heard news from passing travelers in The Spine that several students from the Elbion college have been captured by slavers and taken to Cerak At'Thul. She fears that one of the students captured is the youngest daughter of her foster family, Eowyn. Her suspicions are confirmed when...

Cerak At'Thul - the Black Bay. Notorious for slavery, filth, remoteness, and really excellent street meat. I gnawed some kind of fatty lizard off a skewer a chunk at a time. Spices stung my mouth, and I washed it all down with harsh rum. A fine sun rose high as I wandered the crooked roads. The...
