Captain Castor Grey

Captain Castor Grey is a local folk hero of the Csillasloch region, and namesake of the town of Grey's Mooring. Grey was a ship captain in the Csillasloch who managed to survive The Breaking aboard his vessel. With Undead swarming the Fractal at the start of the Age of Darkness, Grey was able to rescue some additional survivors from the shore and protect them by sailing his ship into the center of the loch.   He led his crew and the survivors in this makeshift floating Haven city for decades - staying far from shore and only sending row boats out into the ruins of what is now Csillasgrad for supplies. People were born and died aboard the ship, though the dead had to be thrown overboard to sink into the loch or they would rise again as Undead. This survival ultimately came to an end after many years with the Vampire Lord Markov Ambrose coming into power in the region, who killed Captain Grey and sunk the ship to the bottom of the Csillasloch.  

THE MEMORY OF CAPTAIN GREY

While the stories of Castor Grey live on today, memorialized in Grey's Mooring, new tales and rumors continue to come from fishers of the Csillasloch who claim to have seen the ghost of the Captain or members of his crew rowing the loch in search of their sunken ship.
