Greydone Thorne

History

He met Ceya in Boralus Harbor. After they married, they moved to Boralus where they had a son named Aramar. On his 6th birthday, Greydon mysteriously vanished, abandoning his family who expected his return but gave up on this two years following the abandonment, after which Ceya got a divorce and married Robb Glade. His journey during the next years remained, but several events are known - he returned to the sea and became a member of the Longstraw Pirates, and after two years he became the captain of the Wavestrider, a vessel which was converted from a merchant vessel to a frigate.   Two years after the formation of the ship's crew, they witnessed two faction-less ships attacking a sole Longstraw ship. While the first faction-less ship left, the other one remained to deal with the captured crew of the Sea King. Its captain just killed the Flintwill brothers and was about to execute Makasa Flintwill. In the meantime, Greydon and his crew had silently sneaked into the enemy ship, taking it, and then to the Sea King. As the enemy captain was about to execute Makasa, his sword having already removed her left arm, Greydon parried the attack. The Wavestrider crew attacked the faction-less pirates and freed the captured longstraw who joined the fight as well. As the enemy capitain and Greydon fought, Makasa took her eldest brother's harpoon, aimed and tossed it, killing the enemy capitain.   After the fight, Makasa offered herself to join Greydon's crew as she now owed him a life debt. Seeing how he just lost his second and third mate, and how the two fought, Thorne decided to take Joe as his second and Makasa as his third. Joe, however, aware he just failed his own captain, instead proposed him to take Makasa as the second mate and himself as the third. Captain Greydon agreed. Greydon invited her to tell him about her life and Makasa came to knew the love of a father. Greydon promised her that he would not use the life debt she now owed him. Makasa remained with the crew, traveling aboard the Wavestrider.   Six year after he left Boralus, a month after Aram's twelfth birthday, Greydon reutrned to Boralus and asked Ceya for his son to accompany him on a voyage across Toriel for one year, knowing it will be hard. Aram hesitated, resented and didn't want to go with him but went regardless. Setting off from Boralus Harbor, Greydon used the time and began instructing Aram in swordsfight as well as knowledge about the world.   Six months later the Wavestrider had suffered damage from a failed pillage and was to be repaired, an operation that would take months. The young boy decided to follow Makasa who boarded anew ship of her own; The Dryad.  

The cloven crystal war

late 1136 AD   The Cloven Crystals — ancient seals that bound the mighty Tromokratis — had fallen one by one. Destroyed or stolen by the Kraken King’s pirates, each loss brought his monstrous reign closer. Only one crystal remained, the final barrier to his dominion over the seas. It was embedded within Queen Morganyn herself, who stood as the last line of defense.   Desperate to break that final seal, the Kraken King rallied the Longstraw Pirates. Over twenty ships, crewed by hundreds of raiders, surged toward Coralia — the Triton capital — intent on tearing the last crystal from the queen’s body. Foreseeing the coming storm, Morganyn dispatched her warriors to meet the enemy at the surface. Within Coralia, the city’s defense fell to their Plasmoid allies.   As arcane fire and magical volleys rained from pirate mages, the sea boiled with war. But not every pirate served the Kraken King faithfully. A rogue ship — The Garrot — used the chaos to slip its own infiltrators into Coralia.   The battle raged for hours. Triton forces, hard-pressed on the surface, were forced to retreat and reinforce the palace, turning back Katarina’s assault from within. But their withdrawal allowed the Kraken King's pirates to dive beneath the waves, setting a new plan in motion. His mages gathered for a ritual — calling forth dragon turtles to shift the tide in his favor.   When news of this reached Queen Morganyn, she wavered. With no way to hold Coralia and no reinforcements in sight, she made a painful decision: she would flee, drawing the fight away from her people to buy them time.   Under cover of night, Morganyn, her advisors, and Wellan slipped from the palace. First disguised as drifting jellyfish, they then polymorphed into sharks to escape undetected. Their destination: The Garrot — the only ship that might still carry them to safety.
