Celestial Cove: (Gemini Cloudport/Town)

They say a corsair’s skill and bravery alone is what creates a great pirate, but that pirate would soon be without a ship or crew without a friendly port of call. And with pirates being pirates, not many places are willing to do business with such dangerous customers. All except the Agartha Trading Company. The great Agartha is an unaligned Guild that says they do business with all factions for the sake of commerce. But what is generally known is that the Celestial Wind Lotus is the lover of the Dark Queen Hecate.

So not only are the ports protected by their own guards, but also by the decree of the Mistress of the Maelstrom herself.

For the sake of lowering costs, these little port towns are manufactured modularly. And heroes will find that every little town has a different selection of shops, characters, and places to visit while they decide the next move.

But like all Gemini favored locales, every town has a Cloudport and a Tavern. And a selection of other interesting locales. They are lively bustling places full of life and color. And the wares of a thousand islands can be seen traded in these freebooter paradises. Ships from every Arcana and people from all the realms can be found mingling peacefully here.

The style of the architecture reflects the princess’s origins. And their name the esteem the corsairs hold the princess. Celestial coves they are called. Celestial style architecture from the imperial city of Xiang’lu feature heavily in its designs. But they are far from the austere and serene places in the imperial city. For the boisterous celebration of victorious pirates and lamentations of those held in defeat fill the night air.

A hero will find incredible items and powerful Skyship upgrades at any Celestial cove they may come across. And sometimes, some very intriguing quests to add to an ambitious hero’s adventure journal.
