[attr="class","h1"]The Sinking of the Defiled Grail
[attr="class","body"]Since the creation of the Sumish Sea Peacekeeper's Brigade, Markus Woodrow II has been aiming to eliminate piracy from the seas of Submiere. In doing so, he aims to make the SSPB an organisation that instils fear into the hearts of criminals everywhere.
For the completion of this storyline, Lord Woodrow will be focusing on The Defiled Grail, the last band of pirates on the seas. They have evaded his capture for years, enraging him, and have absorbed other crews that he had thought he left decimated... But some recent discoveries may be changing that once and for all.
The full summary of threads in this storyline can be found in the spoiler tag below. This gets you up to date on all of the events so far. This summary was last updated on 06.20.18.
For the completion of this storyline, Lord Woodrow will be focusing on The Defiled Grail, the last band of pirates on the seas. They have evaded his capture for years, enraging him, and have absorbed other crews that he had thought he left decimated... But some recent discoveries may be changing that once and for all.
Major Locations
- The SSPB Headquarters
Located in the heart of Eersaeb are the SSPB headquarters. This acts as Lord Woodrow's home base and where he makes his plans, and arranges meetings with helpful personnel. - The Defiled Grail
This hideous piece of a shipwreck is the fastest pirate ship on the waters - and it is manned by some of the cleverest, most dedicated pirates there are. Those two pieces have come together to ensure that Lord Woodrow has never been able to capture them, no matter how many other ships he's sunk to the depths in the name of the law. - The Noble Eastwind
While The Defiled Grail ship is quick, Woodrow's ship The Noble Eastwind is powerful, loaded with the most modern artillery, and it has movement on its side. While the Grail can be quick, the Eastwind can turn on a dime, allowing them to cut the Grail off... If they can get close enough.
Minor Locations
- Enezenn, Dirys
The lowest rung on Dirys' ladder of sectors, Enezenn is Woodrow's prime target for expanding the SSPB into Dirys. He has met with Christel Lirrae, the Sector's senator, to ill effect. Instead, for now, he has assigned Relos Voden to be his... "liaison" in Enezenn, and Telon. - Downtown Cafe (Enezenn)
This seedy cafe is a location often used for secret meetings. - Dirys-Muerte Border
Woodrow met Charlotte Firiana here. In addition, this border becomes an important piece of the puzzle as Woodrow has gained SSPB offices in Muerte, but not within Dirys. - Magei, Liesdro
The military capital of Liesdro, Woodrow met with Ruiha Maytal here to generate an alliance. However, she had already been warned by Christel Lirrae to refuse, and thus did so. - The Woodrow Estate
Set with a private view of the ocean, the Woodrow estate is the most impressive building in Eersaeb. - SSPB Control Points
The SSPB has expanded throughout Aissic, Niseca, and Fiamont. The SSPB is establishing control points near Hareldon, in Muerte. The SSPB is establishing control points in Aurcaele.
Major People
- The Defiled Grail Crew
The crew of The Defiled Grail is a united force, and they've picked up lost pirates who's ships have been destroyed by Lord Woodrow. Now they must run, or else the pirate life will finally die with them.
Merlyn Astra, Kali, Leigh Haskell, Maldrem "Wight", Talindra Pherithil, Colossus, Farenbow, Plague - The Sumish Government
Woodrow seeks to gain power for the SSPB, so that it is no longer just a police organization - but a governing body. He has leveraged his relationships in order to create a divide between Sultan Mydas and his adviser, Kellen Appius.
Emine Viviana, Kellen Appius, Raphael Mydas - SSPB Staff
Woodrow has an impressive force working under him, who will do what he tells them.
Edmund - Relos Voden
Relos Voden - Elias Harel
Elias Harel - Nicole Vanros
Nicole Vanros - Tehodis Kitai
Tehodis Kitai - Plague
This member of The Defiled Grail was arrested by Tehodis Kitai in Eersaeb, and then sent to Doctor Thomas Dunn in Artavia as a subject for mind control. - Vincent Laeretti
Vincent Laeretti - Pelagia Xista
Pelagia Xista
Minor People
- Christel Lirrae
The senator of Sector D in Dirys. She refused Woodrow's offer to set up SSPB offices in Sector D, and then informed Ruiha Maytal in Liesdro to do the same. - Ruiha Maytal
The Minister of Public Safety & Justice for Liesdro, Ruiha was the perfect person for Woodrow to go to in order to generate an alliance between the SSPB and Liesdro. Christel Lirrae got to her first, however, and Ruiha denied Woodrow's offer. - Lieutentant Rowen
A lieutenant in the Liesdro deployment of the Diryn army. - Endless Laeretti
Endless Laeretti - Eliza Edroit
Woodrow and the SSPB has attempted to work with Edroit in the past, but she wanted more money than they were willing to give. - Feofil Peti
A close friend and ally of Woodrow. - Maeve
One of Woodrow's house servants, and also a transmutation adept. - ACACIA-GREEN
Acacia-Green - Charlotte Firiana
Charlotte Firiana - Queen Fabelle
Pelagia intends to oust Queen Fabelle, which would be of interest to Woodrow. He sees Pelagia now as a potential ally, and Fabelle only as a woman preventing his expansion. - Kikuriku Gouken
Kikuriku Gouken - Feofil Peti
Feofil is one of Woodrow's allies. - Fianese Government
Adesola Meixner, and thus Fiamont, is one of Woodrow's allies. - Nisequois Government
Matthias Toran, and thus the Nisequois government, is one of Woodrow's allies. - Aiss Government
Marion Nickell, and thus the Aiss government, is one of Woodrow's allies.
Objects
- The Cursed Bracelet
Woodrow had secured this bracelet with obsidian and ruby inlays from a pirate ship he had destroyed. The magic in it is said to be so strong that experienced mages could not determine it's purpose. He gave it to Tehodis in an attempt to restore her health, and it almost killed her. The bracelet was destroyed by Simon.

Testing the Alliance
5152: 10th of the Scales of Judgement, Early Afternoon
Markus Woodrow II arrives in Liesdro after succeeding to make a deal with Muerte for the expansion of the SSPB into Acheron. He hopes to leverage the success with Liesdro. When he arrives, he stops for a deployment of Diryn soldiers, and notices a particularly striking one among them: Nicole Vanros.
Deciding he wants her, Woodrow borrows her from the march as an escort in the city. He attempts to manipulate her into attending dinner (and the subsequent “events” afterward) with him, and finds himself rebuffed. He turns to threats, and she pulls a gun on him -- at which point he protects himself, and punishes her, by having her arrested for his attempted assassination.

Ocean’s Four
5152: 4th of the Winter Storm, Afternoon
Leigh Haskell leads a team into Aissic, following up on the events from “Those of the Defiled Grail”. On their arrival, there is a small slip-up that gets fixed, but leaves a clue behind. The four of them head for the underground.
Leigh and Kali go to a fighting ring, looking for her contact who may have access to an airship. Meanwhile Maldrem “Wight” and an orc named Colossus visit Maldrem’s own contact, a woman named Reina de Castillo.
Kali makes a good impression in the ring, and her contact, a powerful mafioso named Leif, invites the group back to his den, where they can discuss further.
When the four go to his den, they don’t find a kind welcome. Leif has instructed his people to attack, and the pirates are forced to fight through a siege of skilled mercenaries. With skill they manage to best and elude them, and discover Leif in his safe room. There, they attempt to negotiate before Salza, Reina’s assassin, kills him. The pirates are angry, but got the ship they needed - Leif’s saferoom was a conjured doorway leading onto the airship. When they sever the conjuration magic, the four of them are able to pilot the ship back towards the Defiled Grail.
