To say you’ve had a run of bad luck would be an under- statement. Before, you may have been a deckhand, an explorer, a shipwright, or even a successful stowaway. But in recent weeks, or possibly even days, you found yourself stranded on a beach amid the wreckage of your vessel. Countless events could have caused your predicament: a natural storm, passing storm spirits, the ocean’s fury, or a raid by the nightmarish army of ecliptic. Left alone with nothing but wood scraps and your wits, you’ve found a way to survive.
