Good day.
Me and my chums have been playing an online RPG together by the name of Guild Wars 2. As the name might suggest in this game people form Guilds in order to play together and strengthen each other. Our Guild is called Octobeards Revenge after our band in another game, Rock Band. Currently we are in the process of making a website to attract new members and as the resident scribe I have decided to pen a little lore to go on it. So without further delay here we have.... The Tale Of Captain Octobeard...
Nothing is known for sure about the origins of the Captain. Some say he was a Norn, as big and forbidding as a mountain. Others claim he was a Charr whose ferocity was unmatched by any beast. Still others suggest he was an asura with a sharp mind and a strong grasp of false perspective. Whatever the case all agree that he was the greatest Pirate Captain to ever live.
The Captain and his crew specialized in acquiring loot of the rare and forbidden kind and it was one such piece of booty that became his namesake... The Octobeard. He stole this bionic attachment from the vaults of the Asuran College of Dynamics and had it surgically attached to his chin. There it laid dormant, disguised as a beard, until he willed it into life and its eight tentacles unfurled. Each tentacle had a different tool, weapon or kind of magic built into it and with their power the Captain became all but unstoppable.
His other great treasure was his ship, built from sacred Sylvari trees and armoured with steel plates pillage from a thousand defeated Charr warships. Its figurhead was a solid gold statue of the Norn god Raven that Octobeard had torn from its shrine and in the bowels of the ship hummed an engine that enabled it to fly... another acquisition from the Captains visit to the Asura.
For decades Captain Octobeard and his ship ruled the skies, taking any plunder he desired. That was until the dragon awoke.
Arrogant from years of unending victories the Captain saw this creature as a trespasser in his sky. Armed with an array of fiendish artillery Octobeard intercepted Zaitans flight path and engaged him in a pitched battle. Explosions filled the air but despite everything the dragon emerged victorious and shattered the Captains prized ship into pieces.
Ever since that day Captain Octobeard has been missing and we, the survivors of his crew, have been searching for him and plotting our revenge on the Dragon.
We cannot do this alone and so we are now recuiting new crew members. Do you have what it takes? Do you like plunder, wenches and all the rum you can stomach?
Join our crew and all this and more will be yours.
Kagami 'The Vain' Reikon, Lore Wench.
