  • Dark Waters Tolling

    Dark Waters Tolling
    Mar 10 2026
    In the Shallows, even a small victory tastes like ash, and a hard-won cistern can turn to poison overnight. Dray and his Scum Kings have finally carved out a meager foothold, exacting a desperate toll on the miserable few who still seek clean water. It’s ugly, it’s small, a collection of broken people clinging to a patch of mud – but for a pack of beaten dogs, it’s everything. They’ve built something from nothing, and for a fleeting moment, even Stiggand finds a rare contentment.

  • Cistern Watch

    Cistern Watch
    Mar 9 2026
    The Scum Kings have staked their claim on a new patch of mud, and Captain Dray watches as Orso attempts to orchestrate their latest, most desperate bid for survival. Their grand strategy? Control the local cistern, tax the weary refugees, and try not to let the likes of Stiggand (who *mostly* understands "not killing") or the ever-unpredictable Gix derail the whole grim enterprise. It's a bottom-feeding band's attempt at legitimate extortion, and what could possibly go wrong?

  • Dark Hold Confrontations

    Dark Hold Confrontations
    Mar 6 2026
    Ever wonder what 'rock bottom' smells like? Dray does. He descends into the ship’s rotten belly, only to find his own pack is turning feral. Stiggand’s a surly wreck, Gix is sharpening blades with a dangerous grin, and Silene and Brynn are dug in, threatening to splinter the last scraps of their sanity. With hunger and thirst clawing at them, even securing their next breath becomes a brutal negotiation, revealing just how thin the line is between ally and enemy.

  • Table in the Shallows

    Table in the Shallows
    Mar 5 2026
    The Shallows are a festering wound, a place where people exist only as arithmetic: nothing to retreat to, nothing to raise their hands against, nothing but hunger. Captain Dray has seen it all before, lived it himself in the Gutters, always eating off someone else's floor. But here, in this forgotten corner of a sick world, there is no table at all. Just black water, rising with the tide, and a sudden, ugly thought: what if he built one?

  • The Shallows Without a Spine

    The Shallows Without a Spine
    Mar 4 2026
    Dray’s sailed the Cerulean Sea, burned an Abbey, and shattered ancient gates. He did it all to escape the rot, to be something other men feared. But in the Shallows, after a humiliating tangle with the pathetic Mudlarks, his second-in-command Orso lays out a colder, harder truth: their legendary gold is poison, their crew is starving, and Dray's authority is fading like a bad memory.
