About the adventure
When you signed on to this merchant vessel, you did not know you were sailing to your doom! Now, adrift in the Sea of Sorrows, you seek the Lighthouse, the only way to leave this cursed place and return home. Along the way, you visit Islands of Terror, to refuel, and take on crew, and acquire knowledge of the Lighthouse. But beware the dread captain Pietra van Riese, who believes you'd be better off joining the zombie crew of her ghost ship Relentless, whether you like it or not. Set in 5e's reimagined Ravenloft, this campaign will take you from a green crewmate to an hardened seadog — or a waterlogged corpse!
