Battle of the Scarlet Tides

== The Myth of the Scarlet Tides ==
=== Most of the following is fiction ===
Many moons ago, a colossal kraken and a furious Titan roamed the seas and land of Abexilas respectively, Cerise (the kraken) took the Titan down in a ferocious battle. As the titan fell and the Scarlet Kraken grabbed the body, the seas shattered as the beast was killed, years later, Edward Maelstrom sailed the seas near Talasi on a galleon known as the Crimson Tempest, it was loaded with goods such as food, ammunition and of course, gold and silver. Maelstrom was not a pirate but a merchant, he sold these goods to other ships nearby but had problems defending himself when scallywags boarded his vessel. One day, he stumbled upon the seas that had been wounded. A red tint had been growing from the body of the Titan and Cerise had been hibernating, finding the right time to strike. Edward continued his journey until a loud creak was heard below, he and his crew looked down to see crimson tentacles grabbing the hull. They rushed down with cutlasses in hand and stabbed at it, not too far away, a cave was seen. Maelstrom decided it was the only way.
"FULL CANVAS!", he yelled as the dark red sails dropped as the ships speed climbed. Eventually, they made it into their new hideout but unfortunately, Cerise was parked outside and they only had enough food for a few weeks."
==== The Poem ====
"The raging comet from the heavens above has struck down the den. The survivors of that colossal wreck find themselves traveling endless seas. The remnants of the last Titan offers peace and opportunity. From the holy energy and flesh of the Garnet Titan, the isles flourish. From its rotting form, its spirit manifests. Its mercy grants us forests. Its hatred births fire. We shall take these gifts and use them. "
"We are the Children of the Isles. "
== The Truth ==
The truth of this magnificent tale is that there was indeed a titan that roamed the lands of Abexilas that died and became an island but the Kraken, Cerise did not exist. Harold did find the island but the poem was written later on by members of the Scarlet Cove. This is a tall tale that was spread around pirates in the realm of Abexilas. The island was inhabited by the Scarlet Cove in it's town, Scoriatol.
