During this time of peace, war is brewing in the hearths and souls of people tired of living inside foreign borders. However, war is a costly bussiness in which the victor is not the one with the higher numbers or better strategies, but the one who is willing to pay to the last coin at the bottom of the sack in order to ensure their soldiers have the sharpest swords and toughest armor, the swiftest arrows and stronger bows in order to ensure victory. This job of producing and selling the best equipment in the Free World falls to Armando and his crew.
"Tough times are coming dear boy and if we don't carefully pick a side before the flood we will find ourselves drowning in the waters of our own stirring." Armando de Vici

Pirates of the Endless Sea (LORE, vol.1)
In a world dominated by vast, uncharted oceans and perilous skies, the Endless Sea is a realm of freedom, danger, and intrigue. Scattered across its waters are countless islands-some lush with life, others desolate and cursed-each with its own cultures, treasures, and secrets. The Tempest Lords, six enigmatic deities, govern the forces of nature, life, and death, their influence shaping every wave, storm, and star. Sailors whisper prayers to Ishna, the Deep Mother, or Tamaris, the Sky Warden, as they navigate treacherous waters, but even the gods are unpredictable, their blessings often double-edged. Pirates rule the open seas, their ships both legendary and terrifying, and their captains are as infamous as the myths that surround them. Among them is Captain Jenkins, The Eternal Sea's Hand, bound by a pact with Ishna and commanding her living ship, The Sea Serpent. Her adventures take her through a dangerous world of rival pirate lords, cursed treasures, and supernatural threats. Amid the lawless chaos, coastal nations, corsairs, and bounty hunters vie for control, enforcing fragile laws that crumble against the tide of piracy and rebellion. Strange phenomena haunt the sea's farthest reaches: ghostly storms, islands that vanish under the moonlight, and creatures as monstrous as the myths that birthed them. This is a world where freedom comes with a cost, where alliances are fleeting, and where the greatest treasures lie hidden beneath waves of mystery and blood. Sailors, pirates, and outcasts alike are drawn to the Endless Sea, chasing glory, survival, and the promise of the unknown.Complete
