Before the Sundering, the Shattered City was an enormous metropolis. Now all the remains is a vast field of drifting islets each bearing the ruined fragments of the once-grand buildings and streets.
The settlement of Gateway exists on the fringes of the Shattered City. Merchants of all kinds compete with one another to sell their wares to scavengers. One of the merchants making a name for himself is Thomas Hawke. He’s been known to offer 10% off his wares to scavengers who sell their salvage exclusively to him.
Thomas is haunted by his own demons. His son, Allon, went down with the frigate called the Raven 7 years ago. After getting himself sober, building his reputation, and saving up some reward money, Thomas has started looking for a captain and crew to help him investigate the wrecked ship and return his son’s body for proper burial.
While down at the markets, he chances upon an Orc, Karr Luckfinder. Karr is the captain and only crew of a cloudskiff. These ships are quick and agile making them great for transporting small and valuable cargo. Karr and Thomas work out a deal where Karr will get two shares of any salvage found. Thomas shakes Karr’s hand and sets off the task to find scavengers. It should be easy to find a few willing to help him find his son.
