The Trilobite
Crewed by hardened revolutionaries liberated from oppression, the Trilobite is a submarine that serves as the ambulatory fortress from which Captain Jaivati Drakkar wages war against tyranny.
• Born to noble a family in a distant southern land and educated at Creedhall University, Jaivati Drakkar’s genius for science, engineering, and artificer magic led her to create a submersible vehicle bristling with weaponry.
• Horrified at the conflict that tears her homeland apart, Jaivati has devoted herself to fighting autocrats who abuse their power—she seeks to free the people of Krevborna from cruel despots and tyrannical rulers.
• In the heat of the moment, however, Jaivati cannot resist succumbing to her own authoritarian urges.
• Jaivati's nights are haunted by regret over the violence she has perpetrated in the name of liberation.
Vodyani Isle
Vodyani is a little-known jungle island surrounded by a razor-sharp, treacherous coral reef.
• Vodyani is inhabited by a tribe of feral children and teenagers—visitors will be surprised to learn that no one over the age of eighteen lives on the island.
• Indeed, when one of Vodyani’s islanders reaches their eighteenth birthday they are taken down to the reefs at midnight and left as a sacrifice for “the Hungry Ones.”
• The Hungry Ones are rusalkas who devour the sacrifices brought to them by the youths of Vodyani alive.
• Any strangers who happen upon Vodyani are also captured and offered to the Hungry Ones.
• In return for the human flesh they crave, the Hungry Ones leave fresh fish on the beaches of Vodyani to keep the children of the isle fed and healthy—so that they might live long enough to reach their eighteenth birthdays, of course.
