I saw the ghostly lights last night. \n\nThe mist had thinned, allowing a view further out to sea. My mates insist it was naught but moonlight on the waves. But I swear I could make out her masts, glimpse her tattered sails. \n\nAnd could that simply have been the moaning wind? Or the distant wailing of the cursed crew? Those poor souls bound to their mad captain and his ship. The Withered also haunt the seas. The thought makes me shudder.\n\nGiuseppe\n

Sighting the Ghost Ship

Of course, I know of the Flying Dutchman. I always considered it a fanciful tale intended to liven dreary voyages. But here on Aeternum, the mysterious power of azoth changes everything. \n\nWhispers of the doomed ship that attempted to leave Aeternum long ago cannot be dismissed as mere folklore. I have never seen it but I do not doubt that it exists.\n\nI shall gather what knowledge I can of this phantom vessel. Is it crewed by Withered? Or have those poor souls become something else entirely? In a land where life and death have lost meaning, I cannot imagine what new horrors await us.\n\nZachariah the Scrivener\n

A Real Flying Dutchman

Legend of the Vendetta

“Tis better to be Lost on land than Withered at sea.”\n\nI heard a local fisherman say this today. His fellows nodded in agreement. I believe this is a reference to the ghost ship that blessed few have seen. I have spent hours scanning the far horizon but have never caught so much as a glimpse.\n\nWhen I tried to question the fisherman, he simply muttered: “Our lives are here now. Nothing else is real.” A surprisingly profound observation, to be sure. I wonder who this fisherman was in the Old World.\n\nZachariah the Scrivener\n
