Captains of Renown: Thevan Phoskis
Thevan Phoskis was once one of the most powerful mages of Queen Frea Yaldoran’s Council. A primary architect of the Northern and Golden Spires, Lord Phoskis was instrumental in controlling the arcane energies being harnessed and focused by the Spires during the Trial which rose Queen Frea to her throne. Having abandoned the weakened faction of King Sonnekhet decades before his final collapse, Mage Lord Phoskis was poised to become one of the most influential elves in the entire Kingdom of Thaniras. However, the upper echelons of elven society are treacherous. The bloodthirsty ...

Click here to read Part 1 of the Admirals of the Broad Blue So, a week in and things are looking good. Almost everyone got their first games in, and the painting is proceeding apace. It’s been a little tough, as there have been a variety of challenges that have arisen in scheduling, as there always are when you’re trying to put together a campaign like this, but we’re moving forward nicely. First this week I’d like to talk a little bit about how WE play Uncharted Seas here in southern New Hampshire. Most of the guys in our group are what you could call ‘seasoned veterans’, meaning...

Day 7264, Just North of the Cauldron of Silence I will admit to a certain amount of trepidation upon first boarding the vessel of another race. It is not a question of alien motivations or problems with communication, as my experiences have shown me that most sentient beings are moved by a very similar, and limited, array of stimuli. However, knowing that a man – whether human, elven, or even orc – wishes to be remembered in glorious terms, does not negate the alienating aura of ‘the other’ as one joins a new non-human crew for the first time. All of these thoughts were...

The first Mission in The Cauldron of Silence campaign. Mysterious reavers have struck outposts and commercial ships across a vast expanse of the Uncharted Seas. From the pattern of the attacks, the commanders in the area believe they know the general area from which the bloody raids have originated. Scouting forces have been dispatched to discover the base of these remorseless pirates. It is pure bad luck when two of these scouting forces find each other and certain bloody assumptions are made. The Combatants Any two fleets. Forces Each player will field a Fleet of 300 points, made up...
Read MoreBattle Report: Off The Shoulder
Day 7257, Off the Shoulder of the Cauldron Curiosity, they say, has killed many a cat, and a man or two besides. I generally scoff at such platitudes, until moments such as this. I have been aboard the Kuraga Kumpano, Hawk Cruiser, and under the command of Captain Jaroslaw Jasomir for almost a week. Where old Garrik was friendly and personable, Jasomir has been quiet and brooding. New to the Uncharted Seas, he chomps at the bit to escape Imperial rule, even Garrik’s loose interpretation of it, to join the Tepes separatists down in Lostwithial. And yet the hunger for personal glory and...
