"Ships lured in by false promises and lights litter the zee-floor. Their broken hulls make a city for the wreckers. The citizens are in constant motion, working to survive and appease the Fair King, who sits deep within the city on his wheeled throne."

Wrack is a city of sunken ships, home of the infamous Wrecked Pirates. Under the Zee the Wreckships lure unsuspecting Zubs too close to realize that their enemy's crew is very much alive. The Wreckship will then either sink the ship or be sunk itself. Be wary, even a destroyed Wreckship is dangerous; the inhabitants have an annoying habit of playing dead when boarded.

The City of Wrack

Above the Zee, the Wrecked have a more devious goal. They travel from port to port, promising riches and glory to ship crews, and that all they will need to do is sail to Wrack. Once there, the ships are then attacked and sunk to add to the city and add to the ever dwindling resources of the Wreck Fleets.

The Fair King and His Mirror

The Fair King
The Mirror's Reflection

Seemingly hailing straight out of a fairy tale, the Fair King leads the Wrecked from his throne room deep in Wrack. For a small price of luring ships to their doom he will offer you great rewards. Behind him is a most mysterious mirror that doesn't show him, you, or anyone else in the room's reflection. What is seen in the mirror is unknown. Some call it the future, or a long lost dream, or both. Whatever it is...well you will just have to come to your own conclusions now, will you?
