History

The Wreck of Lady Ghael

Lady Ghael was a well crewed and seasoned ship out of Miacina on the Corinthean coast, which sank amongst the tropical islands south of the Jade Cape. According the accounts of the handful of survivors who lived for three years on a small atoll, she was carrying a substantial amount of gold and silver intended to be the dowry of a foreign princess. Making good time in a strong tailwind she ran across an unseen reef, which sheered off her keel. The ship foundered in just moments sinking, taking the treasure and most of the crew to the bottom. The wreck is believed to be cursed and haunted by the drowned crew, all of whom swore to protect the treasure until it reached its destination. The captain of Lady Ghael was known to be a excellent navigator and was very familiar with the waters along the route of his final fateful voyage. Some blamed his haste in trying to deliver the dowry quickly to avoid pirates, some say it was a momentary lapse in judgement, and others claim the proposed marriage was so ill-fated that Saedeia, the Sea Goddess herself, intervened to prevent it.

The results of this tragic event were three-fold. Firstly, the marriage was called off. Secondly, treasure hunters have tried repeatedly to locate the wreck of Lady Ghael and recover said dowry for themselves. And thirdly, the would be groom was considered an unlucky investor and was unable to secure loans and funding to continue his trading business.

He shortly lost support politically and was replaced by his cousin, Geokias, a younger Oqio from a different family. His assets were claimed by various investors who demanded payment, and he watched as his fortunes were stripped and divided amongst his debts. It was enough to drive him to suicide in 390 YG. He jumped into the sea from the high cliffs for which his home city is famous.
