Captain's Log, Umbradate: 2517.0
These are the voyages of the freebooter umbraship, the Perilous.
Manned by a small crew of intrepid umbral delving stalwarts, the Perilous strikes opportunistically at the unchecked forces of the Wyrm and the Weaver alike, generating renown and turning a tidy shared profit for the crew in the process.
The rumors go that the Perilous is a cursed ratkin Munchmausen umbraship (a la the Flying Dutchman mythos) that has existed since at least the Golden Age of Piracy (the mid to late 1600s or so), though some say its been around long before then, and was used to go a'viking. It manifests in various locales around the globe, summoning forth a crew to man it as it carries out its preordained missions against the unbalanced forces of Wyrm and Weaver alike. It communicates its impending arrival through prophetic dreams delivered to ratkin with the highest Gnosis in the area, compelling them to assemble a crew along with providing the necessary spiritual markers that will lead the crew to the point of its arrival so that they can embark upon the missions to be undertaken.
