The Black Wave Reavers

The Black Wave Reavers are a small Western pirate fleet. The Reavers focus their aggressions on Realm treasure ships, attempting to stave off the Great Houses’ expansion into the Western isles by depriving them of profits and naval power, but this is a dangerous game—the Realm’s ships are well-built and well-defended. How fortunate, then, that the fleet is coordinated and led by a pack of young Lunar heroes.

Axura, a Chiaroscuran woman taken by Realm debt-slavers for use in the Western colonies, leads the trio. She cast herself overboard one night, preferring death in the shark-filled waters to the life of a concubine, only for Luna to draw her from the waters and gift her with the shape of a deadly hammerhead shark. Her companions are Kumo, a clever and erudite islander who survived becoming the prey and plaything of the Fair Folk but still bears linger-ing marks of his time in the Wyld; and Enemy Ghost, a quiet and deadly man raised by a savage panther god. The three are united in their hatred of any who oppress the weak, and see no greater oppressor than the Realm. Axura holds a special hatred for slavers, and enjoys casting them overboard and then taking on her shark-shape to follow.

The Black Wave ships are heavily crewed by former slaves liberated from Realm vessels. The fleet’s flagship is the Black Water Mako, a swift harrier captured from House Peleps.
