The ship’s Shaman and Windcaller said she was cursed and should be drowned lest the curse affect everyone on board. Then a mark like a brand appeared on the palm of her left hand. Soon, with equal parts horror and glee she discovered she could access magical powers. But even as the days were high adventure, the nights were often restless as she started seeing a bronze-masked figure clad in yellow in her dreams. The next eighteen months were great fun for Aeshma as she learned the Corsair’s trade from Kashan’s crew on “Running Crimson” as well as serving on the ships commanded by Kashan’s allies, a group collectively known as the Lords of Dismay. Amused by her audacity, he took her on as one of his crew. A couple of months later after most of the gold had run out, “Running Crimson” came in to dock at Renekrit, and Aeshma sneaked on board and introduced herself to Captain Kashan. Using the obsidian knife that Miara had bought to make the sacrifice, Aeshma killed her mother in her sleep, took what wealth she could find and fled. Miara made the bargain, but secrets have a way of getting out, and Aeshma found out the truth. Power doesn’t come without a price, and the price was the life of Miara’s firstborn, Aeshma. Over several months she awoke the power sleeping in the ancient artefact and was able to contact the King in Yellow. When a down-on-his-luck trader paid for a night of pleasure with the famous (and expensive) Miara using an artefact salvaged from a jungle ruin, Miara found her chance. Her mother, Miara, was a slave prostitute who became one of Kashan’s favoured concubines. The riddle is as follows -Īeshma was born in the town of Renekrit on the Khava Coast, one of the many offspring of Kashan, Captain of the feared red-sailed trireme “Running Crimson”. He's wandered since in search of inspiration, hoping to arrive at enlightenment through observation of the natural world. His coming of age trial was to decipher a riddle, and he is banished from tribal lands until he solves it.
