Two paths shaped by the sea: one sworn to freedom, the other bound to what waits beneath the waves.
Oath of the Free Sea — Paladin
Frees allies from grapples, knocks enemies back, and moves across rigging, water and, later, the air.
The Keeper of the Depths — Warlock
A pact with something in the ocean trenches: crushing pressure that slows enemies, and eyes that see what hides.
Meet Captain Redgrave, the Immortal
A recurring enemy worthy of your crew.
A ruthless captain. A vanished ship. A treasure with a history no sailor agrees upon. Captain Redgrave returns from the sea with unfinished business, and death has become little more than an inconvenience. Introduce him as a recurring adversary, a dangerous rival, or the centre of a mystery that reaches beyond a single battle.
