I'll be gone for six days, earned a free trip to Disney with my credit card points so I'm going to relax after having a really stressful midterm, catch you all next week!

Damaged Masterwork Crossbow
Crossbow

This crossbow looks to have been a spectacular piece of machinery until it looks to have suffered at least half a dozen beatings with a rock or something along such lines. Numerous dents and bent fragments from the damage tarnish its once majestic glory. None the less such things are made to last it looks to still be serviceable. Not only that it may just be better then your run of the mill bolter.

Diviners blindfold
Helm

This head wrap is not exactly a blindfold but a cloth filled with thinly cut holes for the enterprising illusionist wishing to preform tasks "Blindfolded" or a amateur diviner who is not yet "one with himself" enough to manage a blind folded reading of someone. Such wraps while making it harder to see still aid in focus and clearing ones mind for the task at hand.

Dunwarren manhole
Shield

The streets of dunwarren are lined with sewer entries every now and then but most importantly are the manholes which at this point are mostly gone. Such were enchanted to stop smells and other more dangerous elements from surging out of the sewers on poor and unfortunate gnomes on their daily commute. Such objects now scattered throughout dunwarren by scrappers or particularly bitter chosen and are still hounded by adventurers to use as shields and otherwise.

Bastion of Filth
Half-Plate

This plate looks to be coated with sewer grime, filth, and, bile along with at least a thousand years fermenting in a
pile of chosen droppings. This once noble mail is grimy and horrible yet with such stench comes great power. Armors as this made in proper deep gnomish nature were somewhat susceptible to attaching improvments based on their local. Yet this armor has managed to absorb all the grace and power of trash and filth. What a find...

“If you want to build a ship, don't  drum up people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and  work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea”

 -Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Sailing and ocean craft has always had a place in the story of EFU from when it lingered on the shores of a dark lake in the first chapter, to the dangerous and uncharted seaways of the second and third and as we return in the fourth we return to the old black water of the sunless sea.

Now there is a chance for players who have always wanted to have a nautical adventure to step up and take part in plots and activities that revolve around the dark lake, such concepts can range from anything to everything in pertaining to this oceanic venture. From joining the current spearheading group known as the Silent Starlings or trying to strike out on your own but still holding true to nautical theme and type for your character.


You can have any type of character from such venues as...

A dastardly murderer and knave,
[hide=Concepts]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urV8MIcLDFk

-Brutal and violent smugglers with no care for their fellow sailor, only profit.

-Murderous men who have gone insane with the fall of the sun and follow only one light in the night sky or darkly caves, the black sun.

-Vicious raiders from the surface who stumbled over the portal into sanctuary who's tendencies to murder and kill to get the coin needed for their sins of narcotics and rum over-rule all.

A adventurously souled explorer seeking to map and discover what lays hidden in black waters,
[hide=Concepts]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_RWtdm81WU

-A noble blooded person who left their estate before the darkness and when the shadow fell across faerun they were mutinied against, but even as their fortunes sank their lust for exploration was still strong and clear.

-A cargo-man who never left port yet his dream was to one day sail seas from fallen stars to shining waters, his desires and dreams were ever present yet due to his financial position this was never possible less his responsibilities would suffer. Now with a new life within his grasp in the safety of sanctuary he wishes to make something of himself.

And as many suggested, and app of course required. But pirates of a black sea never with light and they who sail need not life...

[hide=Concepts]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6fFJX4OkDw

-A man wishing to master life through the arts of death and his minions number dead beasts of the sea formed into living minions. Fish-flesh zombies and skeletal sailors bound and damned eternal by his force.

-Men and women from the isle of Ymph seeking escape and survival yet damned eternal with the withering to be ghastly forces of maiden's men and women on the seas of the surface but brought to shores of the dark lake through forces beyond the understanding of the death enthralled minds.

-A sailor who after losing his arm in a terrible accident and evicted from his crew due to his disability taking to the sea once again  as he is brought to sanctuary yet with darker purpose to punish all who wish sail the seas as his burning hatred of men on the water leads him to take the path into between life as a palemaster grafting skeletal implants to replace his arm and perhaps grow past the simple thoughts of life and death and ravage the seas as that which is unlife.

In such sunless seas horrors which enthrall and steal the mind as that of the ilithid and Aboleth must linger, and what strange and alien machinations do they have for men who sail the seas?

[hide=Concepts]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v1ze3GJaLE&list=PL2AC936C77AFAD6E3

-Cultist of Dagon, who wishes to turn lower into what it was destined to be a hive to Dagon cult with which his dark horrors can move to take even upper sanctuary from the safety of the Spellguard.

-A researcher into the occult of the depths seeking lost treasures of sea cults on the waves, from derelict ships of such nature to that of islands which none near in fear of what strange and occult craft is practiced on its shores, far beyond the work of normal magics.

-A man who lives for nothing and with nothing to live for the sailor who lost his family, his crew, and, home. With nothing to live for he would happily give himself to aberrant influence just to escape the pain and sorrow of his existence, but is this truly what he wants? And what will his aberrant masters make of this willing puppet?

And with so much shadow in the world, someone needs to carry the torch.

[hide=Concepts]

-A crew of lathanderite and selunite sailors who seek to bring stars to a sunless sea in what ever way they can. To once more light the way for they who wander the darkness.

-A noble paladin and his crew who seek to make safe the waves and rid of the dark influences as that of the Duegar slaver, the Drow that remain, and, Thrall navy.

-A swashbuckler who has seen to much death and in seeking to redeem himself he goes to the sunless sea to take on a more terrorist like crusade against the people who look to imprison and rob freedom which is the gods given right of all people, Son of Sabbuth V2.

You have a lot of options and the Starling is an excellent place to fit your character in if you think he or she has a place in such a crew. Further information could be taken by the prelude page.

Efu has a lot of potential for this venue and so much that can happen as lower is in such a liquid state.

I hope you all consider more nautical concepts and try to join the crew of the Silent Starling or make your own way in the mysterious and interesting depths and stretches of the sunless sea.
