NPC - Captain Feradoon of the Hawk out of Ekbir

NPC - Captain Feradoon of the Hawk out of Ekbir

The waters of the north are cold and the Hawk sails across these northern waters. Most ships out of Ekbir hug the coast and travel no further west than Zirat in the Janasib Islands and no further east than the lands of the Tiger Nomads, but Feradoon travels beyond the known lands over the borders of the map and, to the east, somewhere on the coast of the Land of Black Ice.

Feradoon is a powerful warrior and was once an explorer aways eager to discover new lands and new people, but now he is no longer entirely human. Somewhere in his explorations he found something very old, very powerful and not of this Oerth. His shell may be that of Feradoon, and something of the man still exists or is trapped in his body, but inside, controlling him an entity that is beyond evil and perhaps beyond understanding lurks and learns and bides its time.

This entity has infected the crew of the Hawk. Thirty-seven sailors aboard the ship, but they only replay old memories of who they once were, memories that are slightly off-center and frayed at the edges. The Cult of Istus has noted the strange actions of crew and captain and have begun to investigate. Feradoon is not accepting passengers but the Cult smuggled aboard an operative who was never heard from again. Now greater measures are required and a ship and doughty adventurers are sought to follow the Hawk and discover what has changed a once loyal subject of the Cailphate.
