Grombrindal: Ancestor’s Burden — High Airs

THE SHORT VERSION

Shima Sjarsdottir’s renegade ironclad approaches Karak Thorga under the guidance of a Hyshian swordswoman. A Nighthaunt attack recalls the disastrous sea hunt that first brought them together, when Sjarsdottir escaped a corsair’s attempt to poison a godbeast and rescued the stranded aelf. Their skills defeat the spectral boarders, but a white-bearded stranger has already protected the lower decks.

Rigo warns that the dead were driving the ship towards a cursed boundary and presents a prior claim to the karak’s treasure. Sjarsdottir tries to use the Kharadron Code to confiscate his property, provoking a challenge from her own crew. A brief duel destroys her champion’s god-wrought sword; Rigo leaves with his companions and directs the ship towards honest rescue work.
