On the 21st of Hoarfrost, in the year 1724, a letter was delivered to three individuals: [[Marie]], a guard of the city of [[Varlaine]]; [[Magnus Brand]], a Seer of the [[Grand Cathedral of the Arisen]]; and [[Crofton Dudley]], a not-stinky man.

- Marie focused on the Shattered Isles. She learned that the region had once been plagued by sea monsters, but with the invention of gunpowder and improved defenses, such attacks had ceased. Pirates, once a significant threat, had all but disappeared after a massive battle between two pirate clans 100 years ago.
- Crofton researched amulets, discovering that such items could be linked to ancient gods and forgotten religions.
- Magnus delved into information about the Scourged. He found that those who came into contact with the Scourged were susceptible to [[The Taint]], a condition that rots the body from within and eventually transforms the afflicted into a Scourged. Additionally, he uncovered a passage about the worship of [[Ymros, the Raven King]], in the Shattered Isles:
>Ymros, the Raven King, guardian of the veil and keeper of souls, presides where the boundaries between life and death blur. Among the scattered communities of the Shattered Isles, worship of Ymros was common, and a yearly festival was dedicated to this mysterious spirit. It is said that those seeking protection from restless dead would don black feathers and ceremonial garb, embodying the visage of the Raven King to ward off malevolent forces and claim his watchful favor.

- Accompanying the text was a painting of a man cloaked in dark plumage, a beak-shaped mask cast over solemn eyes. On a sketch from a different angle you see the same stone-etched amulet strung around his neck. Beneath the images, a caption reads:

> Bear his mark to become his ward; the Raven’s protection is a double-edged sword.
After reading this passage Magnus received another vision, this time of a man on a beach dressed in a suit of raven feathers performing some kind of ritual. He again relayed this to the party. He did not relay the feeling that Ymros is calling out to him.

## The Beach
The bodies of the sailors of [[The Mariner's Fortune]] had washed up on the beach east of [[Varlaine]]. [[Marie]], [[Magnus Brand]], and [[Crofton Dudley]] arrived at the scene in a carriage around 8 PM on the 22nd of Hoarfrost, and stood out looking at the vast darkness of the nightly sea. The area where the bodies had been discovered was cordoned off with red tape, courtesy of the [[Brotherhood of Coin]]. As Crofton stepped into the restricted zone, a skeletal hand erupted from beneath the sand and grabbed him.

Later, during dinnertime, the crew got together to enjoy an assorted diner of bread, cheese, beer, peas, and more. The previously caught lobster was smoked and served with herb butter, while Crofton shared a bottle of classy wine, stolen from the [[Clearwater]] docks.

At six in the morning on the 25th of Hoarfrost, the party arrived in [[Caelmire]]. [[The Mariner's Fortune]] was docked in its harbor, seemingly deserted. A carrier pigeon named [[Olivièr]] was sent towards [[Varlaine]] with news of the Mariner’s location, and that the investigation would begin shortly. Instructions were left to send another envoy if no word was received from the party within three days.
Crofton climbed into the crow's nest of [[The Interceptor]] and to survey the surroundings. Besides a few people starting their day, the village seemed calm and peaceful. No signs of life were seen aboard the Mariner. On the docks, a group of five people approached The Interceptor: a dockworker and four priests. [[Maxwell McKinlay]] was asked to join [[Magnus Brand]], [[Marie]], and [[Crofton Dudley]] in exploring The Mariner's Fortune, since his knowledge of a ships condition could prove useful in determining the status of the ship and her crew.

Exiting The Interceptor the group was greeted by dockmaster [[Corvin]] and [[Elios|Father Elios]]. Magnus greeted the clerics with the customary Greeting of the Arisen. Corvin explains that the Mariner had docked in Caelmire late at night on the 12th of Hoarfrost. Captain [[James Davenport]] requested repairs for an unspecified "incident," though the ship appeared undamaged from the outside. Some crew members ventured into town for a bite to eat, but by morning the entire crew had vanished. When questioned about any unusual behavior from the crew, Corvin evaded the question.
