Immersea Pirate Plot Wrap-Up Notes
-
Some wrap-up notes on the Immersea Pirate quest.
1). Corianne van Dorne has been officially named the Lady Aunkspear by Lord Ophelia Calantar of Immersea. A lot of this was payoff for consistent efforts to build up a player faction around Aunkspear Auxilliaries, and pushing the events of the pirate plot with a lot of in-game work even when no DM was around. This will lead to Corianne getting a chance to make some major decisions for Aunkspear which will influence its future fate in a variety of ways as the DM team is looking to experiment now with what player rule can look like, and how it can work, and what (if any) systems we should make to support it.
2). Due entirely to player choices, Lord Ophelia Calantar is taking control of an independent city-state of Immersea, bolstered now by loyal Captains Ironbeard and Graem; with Lady Aunkspear as her top advisor managing most important decisions that don't need to rise to Lord Ophelia Calantar herself.
3). Immersea has gained a powerful alliance with Aquabalnatious, the Dragon Turtle of Immersea as the result of deals struck by Morrigan Frostscale. As long as Immersea is able to collect at least 750 prestige points every month, the dragon turtle will continue to offer its support to the city, but there may be consequences if the tithe isn't made...if Immersea surpasses 1500 prestige points in a month, they may just find some significant perks coming their way.
4). Captain Bocksleiter, is the sole surviving Pirate Captain, he's agreed to join the Aetherpact and earn himself a pardon for his crimes by serving the city of Arabel, much of this the result of some efforts by Gregor Blackfist to gain Bocksleiter's respect and promote the Aetherpact even when a DM wasn't around in game to support everything he was doing on his own to keep players engaged.
Figured an OOC wrap-up may help clarify some things, big take away was wanting to reward players for their initiative and ideas, running events, taking groups to explore, and doing things to keep the server fun even when a DM wasn't online should yield obvious rewards.
If you have any feedback, ideas, questions or whatever - catch me in Discord or DM me on the forums. Hope this was fun and kept things interesting for everyone.
