After surviving a vicious pirate attack at sea, the crew of the Skipjack discovers the damage is too severe to risk continuing their journey.

Their solution? A ten-day stop in the small fishing village of Hong Lat. While repairs are made, the party finds itself with a rare opportunity to explore this tiny fishing village in the northern reaches of the Hofsfeldian Empire. New allies, old rumors, hidden opportunities, and dangerous secrets may all be waiting within the city's streets and harbor.

But time is not on their side. Beyond Hong Lat lies Hofsasel, the final destination before the party can begin their search of the legendary Sunken Archipelago and the lost Temple of the Raven Queen.
