The Unmoored

The Unmoored is a chilling enigma—a cursed vessel shrouded in mystery. Once a humble trade ship, caught unawares navigating Kryllos' seas during Astral Descent, it was irrevocably transformed into a ghostly, skyborne galleon - forever damned to drift through the Expanse / Veil. Now, its crew of forsaken haunt the heavens, their fate bound to the ship's cursed existence.
None alive can claim to have seen the Unmoored up close and lived to tell of the experience. Those who glimpse it from afar speak of a dread-inducing apparition: a towering galleon, its timbers seemingly insubstantial, bathed in a sickly, pale-yellow glow. It sails through the sky as if borne by storms, its torn sails whipping violently in the tempestuous winds that always accompany its presence. The faint sound of wailing voices and the mournful creak of ghostly rigging often precede its appearance.
The Unmoored defies understanding, its appearances maddeningly random. It never approaches the safety of settlements but manifests only in the vast expanse of open skies, as if avoiding the company of the living. Those who cannot escape its path are never seen again. Grim tales suggest that the spectral crew forces their victims to join their cursed voyage, binding them to the ship's eternal torment.
Some whisper it holds secrets from ages long past, a key to forbidden knowledge hidden within its spectral decks. Whatever its origins, one thing is certain: encountering the Unmoored is to risk being swallowed by a nightmare from which there is no escape.
