Seafarer - Sailor (Grim Hollow)

Free from the gruelling class structures of the
mainland, Sailors learn not to fear the laws of
society, only the harsh temper of a storm and
the stern discipline of a Boatswain. Sailors find
talking to other seafarers second-nature, and
are often able to secure passage for themselves
and their companions in exchange for their
skills. For all sailors know, a man of the sea is a
friend indeed.

Rank 1 - Deck Hand

You work on a sailing ship, performing menial
labor such as tending the lines and tarring the
deck. While your responsibilities are small, you
may display a knack for a particular specialization
onboard the ship. You are at home on the waves,
among your fellow sailors, regardless of the
nature and business of the ship.

Holdings:

Free lodging on your boat.
Knowledge of a potential mutiny.

Progression:

Be promoted to Boatswain by a Captain.

Rank 2 - Boatswain

A Captain has chosen you as the Boatswain,
responsible for the organisation and wellbeing
of the crew, as well as ensuring their loyalty to
the captain. You have also become a capable
seafarer, knowing the ins and outs of running
a ship with clockwork precision.

Holdings:

Command over the deckhands on the
ship when not under the orders of a
higher rank.
An officer’s quarters which doubles as
your cabin and living space.

Progression:

Be promoted to Ship Captain or become Captain of
your own ship by other means.

Rank 3 - Ship Captain

You are the undisputed master aboard your own
ship. Your crew follow your every command (or
suffer the consequences), and look to you for a
vision of the future.
You now face such challenges as potential
mutinies, provisions and payments for the sailors,
and the delicate art of navigating dangerous seas.

Holdings:

Your own ship, or else have been entrusted with
command of one, as in the case of a military ship
provided by a nation.
Command of a loyal crew that see to the operation
and maintenance of your ship.
If there is nobody above you in the chain of
command, you have complete control of your
ship, but you also have to pay for the upkeep.
Even if the ship belongs to an admiralty or
business interest, on board the ship you are the
one in charge.

Progression:

Be promoted to Admiral by a higher authority, or
by obtaining a fleet of your own.

Rank 4 - Fleet Admiral

You command a fleet of ships, whose captains
are your subordinates and carry out your orders.
The sailors sing shanties of your glory and you
are known from port to harbour across the world.
Your fleet contains an array of ships built for
many different purposes, which you can assign as
you see fit. You personally command the flagship
of your fleet. What the future holds for you and
the men sailing with you, is shaped by you and
your command.

Holdings:

A fleet of ships that follow your every command.
Command of multiple loyal crews that see to the
operation and maintenance of your fleet.
You are known in other lands for the tales of your
victories and expertise.
Free lodging on any ship you are in command
