The story so far...
Dreadfleet is set in the Warhammer world. If I can paraphrase, the ports of the Old World have been plagued by a mysterious Dreadfleet, lead by Count Noctilus and his Bloody Reaver. After each attack, the Dreadfleet disappear without a trace into the fog they emerged from. In addition, the wrecks of destroyed ships were disappearing from their watery graves
Captain Jaego Roth of the Nightwatch, after decades of successful piracy, was returning home to the pirate city of Sartosa. However, on his return, he found his home destroyed and family slain by the Dreadfleet. Recovering three magical artifacts, a map, a moondial, and a spyglass, he set out for revenge.
Having failed to muster any support from the towns and cities he visited, Roth petitioned the temple of Sigmar for help, but they were engaged in war elsewhere. Roth stole the Heldenhammer, the Sigmarites mightiest warship, sacrificing the Nightwatch in order to escape.
Short on cash, Roth's crew raided the khemrian city of Zandri, stealing a great deal of gold. With this gold Roth enlisted the help of The Flaming Scimitar and the Swordfysh.
Roth then attempted to fight the Dreadflleet as it attacked Luccini, but saw first hand how it was able to disappear from the mortal realm. Roth's fleet came upon Red Brokk Gunnarson, who's craft had been wrecked by the Dreadfleet. In exchange for rescuing them and returning them to Barak Varr, Gunnarson agreed to join the Grand Alliance in order to seek revenge upon Noctilus and his fleet.
Having provisioned and repaired at Barak Varr, Roth, with the assistance of the Golden Magus of the Flaming Scimitar, deciphered the secret of the map, moondial and spyglass. Travelling to the Dread Gulf at the appointed time, a mighty storm engulfed the Alliance fleet. When it finally calmed, they were separated, but Roth had found the passage to the Galleons Graveyard, realm of the Dreadfleet!
The campaign will begin shortly!
