Ghost Pirates

From the supernatural rumors that spread throughout the Crossroad Isles, few have been as long-lived as the dead rising from their aquatic slumber. An old saying states that "A pirate captain never dies without fulfillment." Death sometimes comes too quickly for those who scour the seas; it cares not whether it's a venturing sailor or a pirate lord. For the ambitious however, they will not rest when it is supposed to be their time. They will rise up past their sunken corpse. They will awaken in spirit form; his crew and army forced back at his command. The drive of the fallen keeps them bound to the world until they reach their goal. And sometimes, that goal is neverending. No one understands how the dead's spirits keep sailing the seas. Some believe the old saying is actually a law of reality. Others think that it is through the use of forbidden magic. When one sets their eyes on the ghosts of fallen pirates however, "why" is the least important question on their minds.
