The Shadowmoor

Centuries past, in an era preceding the birth of even the earliest Blackram Marauder, a different breed of dread prowled the vast expanse of the open seas. Commanded by the indomitable Captain Mookwan and his motley assemblage of treasure-seekers, the infamous Shadowmoor emerged as the pioneering pirate vessel to achieve notoriety by name alone. And such repute was not without warrant, for tales whispered of a ship that defied the winds, a craft that outpaced all rivals upon the surging tides, and a crew invincible upon the boundless waters.

Yet, after an arduous and hair-raising pursuit, the ship and its ill-reputed crew met their fateful end, consigned to a watery sepulcher at the murky depths of the ominous sea. But the Shadowmoor refused to slumber while other vessels sailed freely above. Legend held that, in a pact that demanded a thousand ships and a myriad souls to take their place in the abyssal abyss, the Shadowmoor possessed the power to resurrect from its aqueous grave.
