Songbird

A character writeup of The Lyre skin from a game of Sword, Crown and Unspeakable Power. #rpg #scup

Songbird is well-known around the city, his glorious face wrapped in a cap of exotic seabird feathers he has plucked or found himself. He is thin, a legacy of missed meals and empty pockets, but he gets by on his charming smile.

He has a patron in the form of Alm Tuck, a corsair captain, who has cornered the market for luxuries (legal and illegal). They've been friends since childhood but recently they have been on the outs over a popular tavern song credit to Songbird that Tuck believes to be a slight.

The Golden Bees

The Golden Bees are a commoner clique that provide a network of mutual support and aid in the drowned world. Refugees from the oceans arrive at the last city with no support or family other than the crew they arrive with, if that.

The Golden Bees provides a way to survive, a place to build new relationships and ultimately it is to be hoped families.

Members of the Golden Bees benefit from their large numbers (which includes many of the common people of the last city) and the gossip that flows through the group. In particular news from new arrivals means that the Bees often hear of events from distant places before those in the palace.

The Golden Bees are allied with the Hydromancers who maintain the defences of the last city and in open conflict with the Hidden Wave who seek to let the sea water rule all the land.
