Ship Names and Description

50The Placeholder - A large, grey ship with neat sails and trimmed rigging, the Placeholder is an excellent ship for passage or trade. Captained by Cadwallader Farer, a trim man in a blue greatcoat, and by Oliver Shan, his large, peg-legged First Mate, the Seafarer and its crew are just what you would expect from such a boat; in fact, almost too much so. This is because all of it- the boat, the captain, etc.- is illusory, weaved from shadow-stuff. The only truly real things aboard the boat are the other passengers, who are unaware of the nature of the boat- except for one, Jeronimy Blackprebble, a gnomish wizard and master illusionist. Jeronimy created the Placeholder out of whole cloth, and is very much enjoying his success. He loves that the passengers can't even tell, and if confronted, will act coy for a little, than gleefully confess and expect to be lauded for his mighty achievement. Jeronimy is a good sort who can take most things in stride- however, should the players be dangerously confrontational to him or the other passengers, he will unmake the portion of the boat they are standing on, moving them to the brig, or if too dangerous, to the ocean below.

Secret Societies

50Six Sky Triad: a Thri-Kreen society hidden in a small desert town. Triad activities are mostly benign, with the Thri-Kreen secretly discussing town matters and fulfilling ancient cultural rites that have been suppressed by the local government. Every Thri-Kreen citizen of the town is either a Triad member or at least knows of it, and they keep their society hidden through telepathic communication, their nighttime meetings occurring in total silence. Occasionally the Triad will journey out into the desert for a night, singing desert songs and praising the Sand Father, but these journeys are rare, and getting rarer as time goes by.

50A face carved of stone who’s visage resembles that of a screaming woman. Supposedly, anyone who sleeps near it is said to attract death and have horrible nightmares of a woman whispering about their own personal hell. This is really not the case. It just so happens that the previous owner is stupidly paranoid. It’s just a creepy looking rock. Still pretty though.
