The Rum Runner is recovered
While the details of the story remain sketchy (at best) and ever-changing as the years pass, (now captain) Halliana discovers/recovers the Rum Runner from a location as fluid as the rest of the story. Spoiler
Halliana in fact took the Rum Runner as a reward for descending to the base of the Tower of Forgotten Gods, but as with any who have completed the journey, she has no memory of her journey to, or her time inside, the Tower -

Igotak joins the crew

The Rescue of Crazy Ivan
Crazy Ivan is "rescued" from a slave ship, admittedly the crew did not know there were still captives on the ship, and were in fact just attempting to recover "the only hunk of wood Igotak had ever failed to burn." It wasn't until 2 days later that Ivan was discovered in the ships hold (well, on a previously not there outdoor platform adjoining the ships hold) conversing with Tim about, of all things, what puppies are the most fun to play with.

Pirates, you say?
Criminal ActivityCaptain Halliana and her crew are labeled as pirates in the lands surrounding the Obake Sea and the Dark Basin after sinking a majority of Magnnus Sorensen's Fleet at Blood Moon Cove. While responsible for much of the shipping of other legitimate goods across the region, Sorensen made most of his fortune as a slave trader. Were is not for Crazy Ivan this probably would never have come to light.
