The story begins

Our story began as the notorious pirate captain, Mindartis, was thrown overboard by his mutinous crew for stealing from them. As he hit the water, a chest with his belongings quickly fell into the brine after him, which is where he clung until the ocean threw him onto the northern shore of an uncharted island. As he woke, scraping against the white, sandy shore, he quickly tore into his personal belongings, to find some of his stolen contraband among his weapons and clothing.

As the eledrin Mindartis was busying himself with foolhardy thoughts of revenge and murder, another being was washed unto the eastern shores, which were far less hospitable. As he lifted himself from the rocky beaches of the east, he asked himself, "what have you gotten yourself into Heian?" The half-elf brushed himself off and began to swat at the mosquitos and biting flies tearing at his exposed flesh. Heian had been a merchant, sailing the nine seas to find the best deal, but his god, Garl Glittergold, had had other plans for him, plans that brought him to where he is now.
