[All Patrons] Just Passing Through: 12 Mid-Sized Towns - Crimson Bay (Patreon)

Crimson Bay is a coastal town built on a rocky, windswept coastline teeming with dangerous sea creatures. The town's harbor is home to a giant, sentient sea serpent that demands a toll for safe passage. Recently, a fleet of pirate ships led by Captain Mordekai  Rotbeard seized control of the bay, blockading the town and demanding tribute from its inhabitants. Under  Rotbeard’s rule, the once-thriving fishing industry has suffered. With trade routes stifled, the local economy is in decline, forcing many to turn to smuggling for survival. Despite the pirate occupation, a secret resistance movement, led by former captain of the guard Lysander Ironfoot, seeks to restore order and regain control of Crimson Bay's defenses.
