Captain Isolde “Nightmare”, captain of the Siren’s Fang, is infamous as the nightmare pirate of Azuria. She is the only sailor to have survived the Shattered Expanse, where jagged underwater peaks tear ships apart like paper; the Silent Sea, a suffocating, fogbound wasteland that drives crews mad with endless disorientation; and Bahr’s Maw, the abyssal rift that crushes the hulls of even the sturdiest vessels without warning. She is described as the seas themselves, beautiful yet ruthless, cunning, and dangerous. If the seas were a food chain, she's the apex predator.

One peaceful night on the shores of Azuria, after she and her crew had feasted on the spoils of a successful raid, a crew member dragged a young man to her captain’s cabin, insisting he was a stowaway. With a sharp glance, she waved the crew away, leaving him alone with her to… ‘talk.’ There was a deafening silence between them, before she broke it with one single word—

Talk.

It wasn't a statement, it wasn't even a command, it was more than that.
