1.5.11 The Devil's Fall

On September 1st, the Blackwater Crews set sail for the outer reaches of Land's end where the rocks created a grinder of sorts that broke ships into dust. As the crews made landfall in their tenders they would see various scavengers picking through nearly nine ship wrecks in total. The travel along the ashen beach was not too long before the group met an older dwarf named Milo, who seemed to hold a lot of pull as they used his name during approach and was granted access nearly everywhere. As the path started to get closer to the main wrecks Loko would trip over and as he looked up he saw Elinsul the Storm Dragon.

The crews continued onward along the beach as Vikander would swim taming a shark, and collecting the Shard of the Wyrmskull. The main group would approach the shore spotting a circle of longswords known as the ten blades of the council as Eliza searched the wreckage of Stone's ship and met with Amira, and collected more Pirate King artifacts. The night continued as they eventually found Samuel Hall who attacked Persefani grievously after telling her a great lot of information. Eventually the group prevailed and freed a Siren who sang a somber tune.

## Important Notes

* The Siren was singing the same key that Persefani was taught to open the Pirate King's Tomb.

1.6.07 Down the Ricter

The Blackwater Crews began to march on from the old Argent Tower they retrofitted for a forward base, looking over the eastern entrance to the town they saw a few guards but for the most part the guards were around the outside. As the crews approached the gate they spoke with one of the elite guards eventually giving up and mind controlling him to take them inside after seeing the demon from before. The crews continued to go inside until they confronted Elthrazeim. The battle was long and dangerous that resulted in a grand explosion of the creature before moving on to Ricter. The Fighting was intense as the crews put down agent after agent rescuing a woman, hiring a dwarf, and a man.

1.1.02 Finding Templar's Cross

Captures

The Blackwater Company arrived of the shore of Newberry Hold, making landfall and immediately engaging with the forces that guarded the beach. After fighting hard to make a hold for the beachhead the crew began to make its way to the keep to engage in battle with the garrisoned forces as the civilians kept to themselves.

The battlements held a figure that dispersed into the shadows of the night seemingly keeping tabs on them. Under immense pressure by the garrisoned forces the Blackwater broke the lines just as Captain Kayden Newberry, with the Ironbound, rallied the retreating forces. Kayden ended Markus Darkweaver and Samuel Rowely nearly immediately upon entering battle he bore the Templar's Cross a means to engagement. A Blackwater druid was able to save both of the after some effort.

The battle continued, but after some time Blackwater was victorious and rousted the sword from the body of Samuel, as well as a bit more information from Kayden thanks to additional interrogation. While the interrogation was taking place, one of the employees would see movement in the shadows. Trying to find who was causing it, an Ironblood Ring was found.

1.5.19 The Things That Follow Me

The Blackwater forces broke landfall as they tendered deep into the Arathi, the land of Devil's. As they approached the camp they did so along seven points of entry, the guards scrambling to take care of them as best as they could. Eventually some escorting the Blackwater crews towards Fjord. As the crews continued to march, a loud popping sound followed by distant explosions the ships comms were disconnected. As they searched the horizon where they came from the forces realized the Dread Pirates were emerging from the waterway behind them.

As the crews rallied to help the Devil's not wanting to see them fall like the Sirens they met the initial wave. After some time the sounds of war erupted as the ships were attacked off the coast, and the entire camp was attacked on land. Memories rose for some as dread pirates that the crews knew, and that the crews despised were among the dead that walked the shore. The battle was tiring as the dead never seemed to stop, until a deadly appearing lantern was taken, and the battle was done. The forces were then informed after the battle of the Endgame Files.

4.1.04 The Bloody Few

**January 30, 2023:** The Blackwater Company pushed north of the Broken Isles to Citrine Bay where reports from locals, and intel reports from corsairs and lookouts among the council listed the Red Blade Pirates to be holding up. The fleet dispatched six heavy ordinance ships of the line to the region to provide close support to the privateers and mercenaries as they investigated the cove.

The team started out by investigating the shores, seeing a lot of shark activity they would know that chum or blood was in the water as they laid eyes on a few scantly clad women and most of the crews that mingled on the coast drank and ate blood. As the crews split up and gathered intel they began to piece together that the Red Blade were being willed into the current frenzy by the Blackwater Raiders allegedly, and that they were taking down nobility, and the Black Bandanna pirates. The crews continue to push the limits of neutrality as an attempt was made to poison one of the captains with light infused methods and Taren was well... Taren. The crews kept their composure and managed to get out from the encounter alive, and while they all parleyed they would come back to find Persefani amidst an abundant feast of crab, and adorn in crown made of a crab shell.

1.2.06 Evening on the Isle of Sticks

The Blackwater Company sent forth coin guard and captains to the Isle of Sticks to see what the Two Hand Cartel were up toon the 27th of January 633 K.C. Engaging forces without much cause, the Blackwater Coin Guard were out to make enemies it seemed. Persefani met with Simon Foxton as she began to survey the lands past the fighting seeing everything being packed up, she would assume it was due to the fighting behind her. Meeting with Two Hand Luke, Persefani would eventually have to pay for the company's relief from the dragon that was engaged in combat. A mage stood atop the tower looking over the band as the dragon departed the island, along with Luke.

Others began to depart as Markus attempted to enter the tower being covered in nineteen feet of dense snow. Persefani and the Sea Witch began to sort through two artifacts they found. Eventually After a short while he would be freed from the snow as Daron would try to get to the tope himself to aid his comrades, immediately feeling the effects of the towers magics. Eventually the Mage would come down but did not seem very interested in working with or talking with the Blackwater folks. Persefani would take control of the mage, Jaxton Brag, through her artifact power and the team departed not really learning much knew, but with Simon Foxton, they have a new contact and possible ally. Persefani also met Olaf Redtower, the training for the Two Hand Cartel forces and see Tiger the Assassin on the ridge.

1.5.10 The Forgotten Crypt

The Blackwater crews set their next task as the daunting job of shutting down the gateway inside of the crypts below Deadwind Pass. Many brought explosives, and steeled their nerves as they didn't know what to expect once inside having dealt with an uncontrolled gateway before. As the crews made their way through the winding halls that seemed to almost change they would encounter magical traps and cantrips that would hinder their progress. Perhaps it was nerves, or something else causing the first group of rogues to be unable to get over a shorter distance than the group that took the changing corridor.

As the groups entered the rogues took up the cursed ax, and the other group encountered a mage that warned them off. Neither group knowing much better pressed on, as Eliza took the ax it would drag her off eventually wounding herself with it she could control it. The group that engaged the mage would encounter guardians and realize that the mages here were part of a council that was unlike the Kirin Tor. As people began to explore the chamber Persefani would enter a room locked off by a door and stand on a large concrete pad causing her to be ripped into the Abyss on the other side of the gateway. Many others followed as they approached a feeding chamber of sorts where living copies of husks were tended to by creatures that would remind many of naga. Persefani left behind her necklace and the crews eventually exhausted the mages there until they rigged the gateway and escaped.

## Important Notes

* Persefani left her necklace as a way back to the spot since the Abyss constantly shifts.

1.4.12 The Redgrave

A quartermaster put out a call to arms for all active Blackwater Personnel, potential hits on two high priority targets near the coast of Gilneas on the island cluster of Northpointe. The Revenge responded with its crew and a few of Blackwaters finest. As the crews arrived at the scene they saw a Sons of Strom Renegade capsized in the water off the coast fighting between ships in the distance was heard but they wished to investigate the isle of wolves. Tenders carried the crews to shore as they saw a man on horseback, and a murloc getting a snack from the barrel of fish. Some of the crew moved towards the house, while another part of the crew went to try to speak to the black armored horsemen.

As the forces approached the house they heard a disconnected voice coming from Iman Jermaine, a few of the crew entered the house to speak with the man that kept repeating his phrase over and over. As the people spoke longer to the horsemen like a jolt of energy a clap of light happened before them and the horsemen was replaced by ten corpses of the Sons of Strom. Eliza went to move Iman as he fell to pieces a comm device falling from his body as he had no blood, but his limbs were held by fine agency wire. Diana snagged the Skull of Ten Thousand Truths and handed it to Elizabeth as she went with Markus to investigate Mary Ann Darkweaver. Scared, and timid the woman hid behind the tree as the crews spoke to her, coaxing her out. As Diana moved back to the house she saw Agent Redgrave and Agent Dream in the rafters as they pounced on her and Eliza Gaffaden threw and kicked and stumbled on a flash bang blinding everyone, but a lot more effort and the bounty was claimed.

1.2.14 Turning the Tide: Part 1

The plan was clear, the bulk of the Blackwater fleet, and the Stormwind Navy would lie in wait until the battle was begun. The Eternal Harmony lead the charge alongside The Maw, ships from the Huntsmen, the fleet under Silas, and the rest of Mitchell's fleet pushed in with a light fog coating the seas. The sounds of cannon fire filled the air as Persefani readied the main forces of Blackwater, and Lieutenant Potter readied the forces of the Alliance.

The alliance forces were new to this, and their approach shown as the Edmond Cross broke free of the fog line the choice was clear. Ram them. As the ship the Cross rammed splintered the crews boarded the vessel and engaged in a melee. The thunderous sound of the Maw's cannon firing silenced the cacophony of sound that filled the air of swords clashing and rifles firing. The tides felt in their favor as the Blackhook Pirates began to fall one by one. The ship captured Blackwater beset another with its cannons using the unexpected attack as an advantage. The Alliance navy sunk its quarry as it moved forward and boarded a ship with the full intent of capturing the vessel while Blackwater sunk two more. The Blackhook pirates while unprepared for such large numbers managed to sink two ships from Ramsey's fleet, and three ships from the Huntsmen.

After a time, the final ship was seized by the Blackwater Company, looted, and the soldiers of the front lines boarded their vessels to head to rest for the battle ahead, or to the harbor of Fallport for revelry and planning for an attack to take the balance of the port and the city.

1.2.08 Long Overdue Meeting

After waiting what seemed like or was months, Persefani and Stone would go spend time speaking to Icaris on the 30th of January 633 K.C. Icaris Shinley with the Roughnecks has been put in one of the nicer cabins aboard the Eternal Harmony. While not really a prisoner, as she came willingly, she really was not free to go. She was treated well during her stay, but Persefani felt bad when she finally sat with woman to speak. All things considered, Icaris was in good spirits when the ladies spoke. Stone kept a safe distance behind Sefi just in case. Icaris and Sefi spoke of the ship The Fate and Sefi freely admitted that she has had runners on the ship to watch its movements. But instead of attacking, she asked if Icaris, who was now free to go and we would take her anywhere, could get Sefi and Raven a meeting together. The woman agreed and the meeting day and time was set for the 3rd of February. Icaris decided to stay aboard the harmony until the meeting, and would change ships then. Hopefully the positive treatment Icaris was shown would help with the negotiations with Raven. Sefi wanted Templar's Verdict.

The Blackwater Ships anchored off shore tendered the crews to the shores of Nessar Isles as they made their way to the top of the hill guards appeared to be none the wiser to their presence as they positioned themselves.

The unholy artifact Markus was carrying began to interact with the dead there, raising the long-lost crew of The Deathless. By this time, members of the Black Bandanna took notice and there was now a fight between them as well as the emboldened dead. Blackwater began to take grave wounds as the Captain Bonny and Vice Admiral Dupree fired cannons upon them eventually laying Jolheim out for a while one of Blackwater's healers made way to him to get him to his feet. The Captain began to flee as she was caught out by Persefani and did battle with her. Jolheim rushed the cannon and threw it, accidentally hitting Loko, before moving to engage the Vice Admiral with Diana. As the Captain and Vice Admiral dropped, Jolheim eventually succumbing to his wounds.

Recovering the body of Jolheim, the recently promoted First Mate of the Eternal Harmony, he was brought to Stone for a burial at sea.

1.5.14 How Far the Syndicate Falls

The Blackwater company began to work their way to the small walled town of New Home in Alterac Mountains. As the crews approached a few spotted a man in the flames, but pressed onward. Eliza paid off the tower guard to take the night off as they moved closer to the town. As the crews approached the bridge that lead over a river to enter the town the guards were very serious about the no visitors rule.

If a few were keen they would have seen the bodies hanging from the trees, along with the archers hanging ready to strike. Persefani worked out an idea that she would fire Blackdeath at the tower across the way to distract the guards as the archer shot her in the shoulder the others ran for the tower as it was blown into. The crews worked through the tavern at first after a while of getting information about the town the crews wanted to kill the Governor, and rescue the kids in the prison tower in the remaining bits of the tower.

1.7.09 The Night Among the Trees

The Blackwater Company sailed off to one of their outposts that was crafted since Diana took control of the Hegdir Clan of the Wyrmskull Pirates. Once they arrived the crews began to disembark from their ships, Persefani immediately finding the shores and sands littered with shiny things. The mercenaries left the safety of the walls and tried to talk their way into things, much to the surprise of their colleagues. Taren challenged a dog to a fight, wolf on wolf violence for some clout among the wild folk. Leanna spruce goosed her way in as Eliza and the others followed their lead. Loko learned all about how the wildlings could crack melons with their thighs as he ate with the two near the river. Eventually the crews set eyes upon the writer for the A.N.T. talking to a big guy named Paul Richards as Diana and Leanna began to slowly approach Kindrey to talk deals with her. Ray met Cyr and almost started to get somewhere with trade, and the like until he heard a commotion back by Kindrey. Taren had a husk and he was quite the smooth showman, even making sure to disappear in a plume of rose petals. The deal was struck and the Ashfall Clan was added to the fold for the Pirate Council, and so the Mercenaries took care of two Clans of the nine so far.

1.7.06 All In His Head

Stone and Persefani would enter Stone's tomb to deal with the skull of his grandfather. This was after the insistence of Persefani that they could no longer wait, driven by her fears of Krennic as well as knowing that Diana just had her child. The world needed to be safe from fears of the abyss. Persefani would enter the tomb using the song that Silas had taught her, but then Stone took the lead. Inside was several guardians that Stone was able to quickly deactivate through his magics. One remained over the skull, one that was specifically put in charge of guarding the skull from everyone, including Stone himself. Persefani did not want to fight and instead talk to the guardian, who turned out to be Edward Cartello, Stone's old trainer and friend. After convincing him that she only sought to destroy the skull, not take it for her own use, he would grant her access if she solved the riddle he presented. She failed the riddle, but came up with a new strategy. Instead, she convinced the man to destroy the skull himself, thus ending the abyss and fulfilling the lifelong debt. He was only too eager, the skull is now gone and Edward now works for Blackwater under Persefani. The tomb was cleared of its riches and destroyed.

2.1.02 Among Them

On March 09, 2022, The Blackwater Mercenaries set out to Stranglethorn Vale to try to retrace their steps while pursuing the Mocking Court. As the forces entered the ruins they would find illusions of fate surrounding them, Kayden Newberry, and many more. Like beating on a drum a few of the mercenaries tried to say the job was too easy, as the basilisk known as the Cursed King nearly ate Nelana where she stood, and started to lay waste to the forces. Suddenly a deep underworldly sound loosed and it made even the strongest among them freeze, as one of the mercenaries found the Blue Sky Trading Company logo on the broken crate, and Bacon standing shivering on top. The forces began to retreat as Thalion rushed headlong into the area to rescue a bird. The crew took a portal through to Boralus to get away from the fighting, but it seems the portal was left open for too long as a being or entity was able to grab Eliza and take her to an initially unknown location. Using comm tracking and other information, here rough whereabouts were determined to mount a rescue mission.

1.3.06 Outmatching the Betrayers: Day 2

After a long night in the safety of the Blackfang Holdout the coalition began to ready their weapons, and armor for their turn in the battle ahead. The Fang had informed the forces that there were four tanks in the city at large to be mindful of. Members of the coalition familiar with fighting in the city or urban areas knew that the snipers could be extremely deadly as well. Pressing into the Market District the crews of the mercenary company took hold of one of the tanks.

After dealing with a few dozen rifleman, and mage hunters it seemed like the tactics were set to be guerrilla warfare. Moving to the canals the forces were faced with a warp juggernaut and heard in the distance sounds of another tank. Getting the leg up on an ambush the team took control of the juggernaut after disabling it and pressed on through the Hightower District. The tank did battle, as the coalition forces split up, a few members rushing into the Greymane Court Square, and others into the trap that was Hightower Safe house.

Dealing with snipers along the way the forces eventually took hold of the Hightower District and moved to aid the coalition forces that went ahead only to find high powered sniper rifles, along with a pair of tanks. The battle that followed was intense and cultivated in a tank driving off the bridge into the tributary below. As the forces came down from their high and began to search buildings, they found themselves surrounded by the Golden Shroud Company. Choosing diplomacy over attacking, they learned that the White Owl may have been in danger.

Persefani took off to go find her sister, which was shock to those that followed until the Owl was found. Brining her back from the brink of death, she was rescued from the area. Everyone was then gathered up and sent back to the ships.

2.2.07 Why We Fight

July 27th: The beacons were lit aboard three trade class ships of the Blackwater Fleet, signaling every ship in the fleet for aid, including any ship in the region able to assist. Upon the arrival of the fastest ships in the fleet the mercenaries were told of the situation they would be sailing into. The Black Sun have found the Blackwater ships and while the trade class ships sank the enemy ships they lost all of their own ships in the process. The Black Dragon was beached as the crews saw the prisoners slowly being executed starting the race to save their people. As the crews cleared the first beachfront they would destroy the Black Dragon in the process. The crews pressed deeper into the sirens swamp as they saved more sailors, and even spared them a deadly fate by taking the matters into their own hands. The Black Sun would summon an undead demon to the world which would be teleported away from the region, instead of being taken care of. The crews cleaned up the rest of the beach and tried to rescue some of the sailors that they were responsible for taking down.

## Important Notes

* Demon was teleported to a mystery place by Thalion.
1.1.07 Researching Templar's Cross II

Entering the Library of the Cathedral of the Holy Light in Stormwind City, the Blackwater Company would immediately fan out to many of the bookcases as the druid and privateers would begin to gather books of interest to leads. Persefani would talk to the leader of the Paladins for the city. Working out the information on the Pilgrimage the crews would find spines of books that they wanted to take be ridden of pages. Coins were left in places as if someone was there before them, taking away leads, or giving the crew warnings.

The crews moved on from the library of the church as the Lord of Paladins told Persefani of the body in a sarcophagus in the crypts below. A rare thing to hear of considering all bodies stowed down there have been laid on stones to decay. Once there the gang began to unlock the mysteries of the tomb, as well as Zenari would find Templars, and some leader watching them work, and engaged them quietly. Once the tomb was opened Markus would take the paper from the corpse, and begin to help Zenari as the soldier fought the three Blackwater hard.

Taking down the foes Markus and Zenari began to read the riddle on the paper that seemed to change with arcane ink he took notes to not forget, but it started to burn as they got the riddle wrong. Taking the armor from Renathi the crews limped out of the crypts aside from Zenari who felt oddly renewed.

1.5.05 The End of Eve

To try and get Diana and Eliza off the Bingo List, they offered to do a favor for SI:7, which was take out Eve. A rogue agent with The Blacklist. The Blackwater crews made their way down to the quarry from the Iron Summit. As they made their way down they came upon a vial hanging from a snakes head, a guard, and a crow. As the crews made their way into the quarry they would take down a few of the guards incapacitating them. As they distracted a woman off the chain into the molten rock below. Greg, and Elle gathered the courage to talk to the Dragon. As the crews carried on and engaged the woman guarding the gate, as they tried to figure out the lock. Arivol was taken as Eve, and her demon hunters began experimenting on the elf.

The gate opened as the unclothed elf triggered trap after trap nearly at the brink of death. As the crews dropped enemy after enemy and came to see the lifeless body of Arivol mangled and disfigured. As the fighting began the Black Dragon aided them immediately cutting Experiment 00478 in half as the crews fought with Eve. The druids cautiously approached Arivol as they killed the other experiment finding that she harbored an even sinister demon. Persefani caught the gaze of the half masked man whom she learned was Ricter.

1.5.07 The End of a Line

Persefani summoned members from the company and requested a few from allies to come together to put the red strings in order. Metilda was sent from the Huntsmen, eventually Latrell Ramsey, and Sandra Vane would arrive during the course of events. The first order of business was to assemble and identify the contents of the silver ash in the jars. The mage from the Huntsmen would identify the gray ash filled jars as victims of the weapon known as Black Death that were from the realm known as the Abyss. Then the black soulash was from people that were real to this world. The people would consume this ash for power, intelect, and more.

The group came to the conclusion that ending the Abyss was still high on the list, as Latrell Ramsey brought Sandra Vane who accosted the leaders for some time as she was shot after revealing she was a spy on behalf of the Wyrmksull Pirates. Persefani put the final bullet in her head as she played her against Latrell ensuring she felt betrayed.

1.4.08 Cleaning House

After the destruction caused at Dame's Point, which resulted in four more people taking in for questioning in Porthcrawl, it was decided it was time to sit down with those that needed interrogating to get those on their way or ended, based on what they deserved. The group split up into three different areas and had the guards bring in those for questioning and then brought back out when done. This process was rather efficient. Everything was running smoothly, all things considered, until we got to a Darton Rowe, who has been a 'guest' of ours for some time. Being that this man was held onto with the promises of leading us to different artifacts and treasures, we had asked our new mage that is into research to listen to the man's tales to see how valid it was. He was acting a bit strange so one thing led to another, and he had some ice jabbed through his eyes with no concern by the man. This cause an immediate reaction and concern that he may be a husk. As such, the entire place was locked down. Through some testing and examining, we found who the man was, and it was not Darton, which left Darton unaccounted for. Short time later, where Leanna tried to finally get to the bottom of her brother Jason's story, Darton appeared and attacked Jason and then her. Turns out Jason was the only mark that Vincent had ever gave Darton and he felt he had to deliver after all this time. He was turned to ash that left a hole five blocks long and new procedures of searching were not implemented for all prisoners.

2.1.04 Times Change

March 14th, the Mercenaries landed on the island that Eliza was held captive on, the region was rife with Alliance ships, and similar banners as they arrived in perfect concealment. The captains would offer looking at what they were dealing with, but stealth was never an option with those along for the ride. The soldiers tried to conceal themselves in shadow, but it only covered them till they were right in the middle of all the mercenaries. The battle was intense as the whistles of alarm spread around the island as the Alliance began to react to the actions on the far side of the isle. The Blackwater forces began fall and be aided to their feet as Taren rushed in to rescue Eliza, others took fire from Alliance Scout Snipers. The desperation started to set in as the fleet rounded the bend, and the First Legion appeared through the mouth of the cave. The forces asked Anderstel for a hasty retreat as the ships limped back to port.

1.5.03 Making the Bingo List

The operatives Elizabeth, and Diana were dispatched to Redridge to gather intelligence on Hector Astley, and his wife or relative Marybeth Astley whom was overheard talking about killing Carson Halloway. Once inside the first set of walls they saw courtyards, homes, and plenty of stormwind soldiers training in the area. They continued to sleuth along in the shadows until they reached another set of walls this time they were thick enough to hold large chambers. Elizabeth saw around the corner that Lord Steel was cleaning his sword and inspecting it as she motioned for Diana to move to the other end and incapacitate Lauren Dumont. After not really gathering too much important information from the man, she decided to not dally long.

As she left the man looked to Lauren Dumont and tried to get her to a building outside the inner walls. Eliza and Diana assessed the area and located Jerard's sword Ruination, as well as Marybeth in the courtyard. The two thought these two would be perfect to take as they began to devise a plan, Eliza took out a vial of Void and moved through the yard in the shadows reaching an area she could throw it to create a distraction. Once the vial struck the fountain it exploded and little did the woman know but beneath the fountain was a legion stockpile of fel canisters for their sinister weapons. The explosion she thought would happen did not as it blew up nearly a full mile of the structure, seeing a steeple collapse and the people flee. Diana stopped Marybeth as she was forceful in her manner of escort and the two met back up slipping by Lord Steel who did not pose a threat, but let them by. After depositing the woman and sword they decided to try to see why that explosion was so large, and return to their primary objective Hector Astley.

By this time SI:7 teams were closing in on the Duchy as stormwind guards swarmed along with Brokers, and a few other civilians. Eliza was caught out in the open as the soldiers took aim and the man looking rugged approached her to take her in she lashed out along with Diana as they pressed hard for an exit. Eventually wanted posters were put across Alliance territory, and a bounty was made for Diana and Elizabeth.

## Important Notes

* Eliza and Diana both suffer from having a large private boutny put on them Lord Astley as well as being put on the SI:7 Bingo List for being considered mass murders for the uncovered grave from the explosion.

1.5.18 The Fall of Humanity

A small contingent of Blackwater forces made their way to the ruins of Irongarde. Upon reaching the small alliance camp the team of mercenaries began to realize that the equipment on the coast was that of heavy war equipment. The thoughts among the group is that the alliance had no plan of letting this group of Defectors hold Irongarde. As the forces moved in through the camp they gathered some illusions provided by the mage himself of defector symbolized tabards.

This worked for entry as the forces spread out and tried to inspect things as to who they were, and why they sacked a city leaving thousands dead or injured, and many more homeless. After some careful words Persefani shot the man who brands in the head in full view of a guard who sounded the alarm. The forces gathered in the tower that seemed to be crumbling much like their cover as Taren attempted to open a portal eventually he was successful and they made it out with the branding irons, and some tabards.

The Harrowing Spectre

(Reference Art, Artist Unknown)

The Harrowing Spectre is a Fully-Rigged Ship under the Blackwater Company. When the 102 ship was delivered, it was unnamed and assigned to Elizabeth Ramsey, who christened the name, as an upgrade from The Audacity.

Since an unfortunate incident, the ship was without a captain and been decommissioned. After a few years, she was completely salvaged for repairs on other ships that sustained damage during battles during year 37-40.
4.1.02 Slaver's Bay

**January 16, 2023:** The Blackwater Company approached the southern coast of the Broken Isles to seek out where they fell in the span of control of the seas. While on approach the ships crushed wrecks and loosed tenders as the waters became too hazardous to continue through the waters between Oceanus Cove and the Isle of Watchers. As the tenders approached the shores they saw naga, sea giants, and other creatures that trudge through deep waters. The wreckage of ships all around the area gave signs that the giants hooked and drug ships to shore to break to parts, and use for slave labor.

As Blackwater pushed into the isle they would address a cage filled with members of the Wyrmskull Pirates, as well as the Oh Hell No Brigade. Freeing a few members of each respective party they would gain ten Wyrmskull Pirates, and five dwarves from the Oh Hell No Brigade. Blackwater pushed into the slavers as one cut Leofric's legs clean off, others continued to dish out the pressure on the other members of the company. Eventually the company was successful in their mission, having only had to mend and heal critical wounds, and clean up the dead prisoners.

1.4.15 The Spiders In My Skin

The scouts have located a shoreline rife with conflict between the worgen, and the horde. Collectors ships were sank off the coast rocking with the tides as the sea mines forced the Blackwater fleet to stay at a larger distance as the tenders carefully navigated the field of mines at sea, and on the beach. The Blackfang were along the coast as the mercenaries reached the shore quickly, a few stepping on mines along the way. The team discussed the location of the Puppet Master being in the cave of spiders they began to make their way to the mountains in the north as they crest the hillside they saw giant spiders roaming the land between them and the mouth of the cave.

The forces fought hard against the giants as the Black Widow entered the field disabling all of their magical weapons, and trinkets. Rafnir found chip the baby skittering giant and collected him. After a grueling battle the forces made their way to the cave where they split up to guard and enter the cavern that seemed to have many knocked out soldiers of the Collectors. As the forces pressed on past the fork in the path the Puppet master fled through a secret passage and took over the forces at the mouth of the cave. Further and further into the cave the forces went as they found Shadar Vakal the masked individual. The illusion fell and blood, rot, gore, and viscera lined the walls and floor of the cave revealing dead worgen inside. The battle was long and intense as the crews worked to flee to aid those outside as a loud unfamiliar warhorn sounded.

The horn gave many the impression of the orcs warhorns as the Blackfang crest the hill, rushing the cave the worgen bowled over the forces in the way and tore apart the Puppet Master, and Shadar Vakal, as Persefani collected those knocked out, finding more, and others as she scheduled a meeting with the Collectors after learning that the group, the Sons, and the Brokers have all been at the whims of an Edwards, Vincent's relative.

Brandwen Morgan

Art Reference

Brandwen is a member of The Blackwater Company as a treasure hunter. She is also affiliated with the Explorer's League.

Her companion lemur, Benjamin, is a cleverly trained creature who accompanies her everywhere. Brandy feeds him small bites of fresh fruit and lets him ride around on her shoulder, in exchange for his nimble skills as a climber and tiny thief.

## History

Brandwen was stifled as a member of the renowned and respected Explorer's League. Her lust for adventure and desire to break down the old and worn-down lines drawn by the Alliance and Horde drew her to the League, but even their open-heartedness proved too confining for her tastes.

Blackwater proved to be the perfect place for her to stretch her sea-legs, being both factionless and paying considerably more gold for her treasure-hunting skills.
