The Corsair Havens
Harborya · A tale from the world of Sam’Relaxe
At night, when the ships' lanterns light up, the port looks like an inverted sky. Hundreds of lights dancing on the black water. Sailors say each lantern is a promise to return.
Here, you don't choose your home — you choose your tavern. Each one has a sound. The creaking of wood, the murmur of waves against the hull, a distant accordion. You settle where the sound matches you.
A woman commands the Watching Fleet. They say she crossed the Mute Lands — the place from which no one returns — and lost her voice there for three years. What she saw there, she never tells. But since her return, the wind obeys her.
Maëlys, Captain of the Watching Fleet
Former cartographer who crossed the Mute Lands and lost her voice there for three years. Returned with the power to command the winds, she patrols the borders of Sonaë.
Le Tambour des Marées
Buried in an underwater cave, it beats to the rhythm of the tides. As long as you can hear it, you find your way.
The lanterns are flickering in an unusual pattern. The Captain has called the fleet back to port.
A work of fiction drawn from the Sonaë bible.
