That was until one terrible voyage around the coast of Sartosa. A storm blew up, the worst storm seen for a hundred years, and the ship foundered on the treacherous rocks. Although the crew was washed up on the shore, the entire cargo of rare dwarf ale were lost. This disaster was something no self-respecting Dwarf could bear, and the great Dwarf Captain wouldn't wish to have survived the ordeal. Long Drong knew his career as a Dwarf trader was over. He resolved to become a Slayer of the Seven Seas and to seek a glorious end, worthy of a saga. His crew, who were just as ashamed by the loss has also sworn the slayer oath and together these Sea Slayer's sailed the oceans until a worthy death will restore their lost honor and erase their shame.[1a]
