Abrigor's Triangle and The Annalise

Two adventure locations in Krevborna's Judas Sea.

Abrigor’s Triangle

Abrigor’s Triangle is an expanse of the Judas Sea regarded as its most dangerous and mysterious region.

    • An unusually high number of ships disappear without explanation in Abrigor’s Triangle.

    • Superstitious sailors attribute the treachery of the triangle to numerous causes: a demon named Abrigor who pulls ships to the bottom of the sea, magnetic and temporal anomalies that render traditional navigation methods useless, or a preponderance of sea serpents and krakens.

    • Many vessels that travel to or from Krevborna via the Judas Sea go out of their way to avoid Abrigor’s Triangle, even though it lengthens their voyages to skirt its edges.


The Annalise

The Annalise is an infamous ghost ship crewed by the undead that prowls the Judas Sea.

    • Legend has it that the Annalise was a pirate ship captained by a greedy cutthroat, now known only as the Phantom Mariner, who betrayed a coterie of buccaneer captains he was partnered with.

    • He absconded with the ill-gotten wealth meant to be split between them, leaving them to be captured and executed at the hands of privateers. 

    • The gold and jewels the captain hoarded did not serve him well; when a sudden storm cast its net over the sea, the Annalise was too heavily laden to maneuver to safety.

    • The Annalise sank with all hands on board dying amid the thrashing waves. 

    • However, during storms at sea, the Annalise is spotted cutting a ghostly path through rough waters; bathed in ghastly green light and crewed by the barnacle-encrusted dead, the Annalise attacks other vessels who stray into its path. 

    • The accursed captain of the Annalise is compelled to add to the wealth that doomed him to a watery grave.
