The Desperado

The Desperado is a former pirate ship which has since been converted into a fishing vessel. She is captained by the Kraken.

Appearance
The Desperado is a medium-sized galleon fashioned primarily out of dark wood.

Background
Captained by the Kraken, the Desperado was originally a pirate vessel. Due to her many exploits, she garnered a great deal of notoriety on the Eadrenan Sea.

Eventually, however, the Desperado was repurposed into a fishing vessel. Still under the leadership of the Kraken, she can also be chartered by adventurers for a price.

Notable Voyages

 * The Kraken told Jorah about a voyage that she captained in the past. The Desperado was chartered by a wizard, and the voyage’s route entailed braving the Forsaken Gulf - something which had never been done before. The Kraken reported seeing the massive vortex at the very center of the Gulf, larger than the continent of Faerenil. She said that the only reason why the Desperado was able to evade the vortex was due to the wizard, who propelled the ship away from it. The Kraken did not specify when the Desperado went on this voyage.
 * In 597, the Desperado departed on a voyage to Port Valor. Given the large quantity of magically sealed barrels filled with caught fish, it can be assumed that she left port at Atemcester. During this voyage, the Kraken broke an international treaty, as she had the Desperado traversing Laverathian waters. This resulted in Aske accidentally fishing up Reides, who was making his escape from Aquos, the capital of the Laverathian Empire. Unbeknownst to the Kraken as well as the rest of the Desperado’s crew, Aske was able to successfully aid Reides in stowing away on the Desperado. It was during this voyage that Aske stole Clive’s pants, gifting them to Reides.
 * The Desperado was chartered by the Pog Champions in 598. The voyage was from Atemcester to Laverathia. This voyage was perilous, as it entailed traversing the “storm of the centry” which had, at the time, halted the majority of maritime trade around Alethustria. The Desperado was able to brave the storm and escort the Pog Champions to Laverathia. She is currently en route to Davenport.
