Title: The Ambassador’s Son

(If you liked Pirates of the Caribbean, this should be just the RPG for you!!)

Basic Storyline:

A corsair enthusiast is gaining power and respect in an Umbar now under Gondorian Rule. He swears that his piracy days are over and appears to dedicate himself to the renovation of the southern, coastal town, and opens an ocean trade route becoming close friends with the ambassador. However, he is a fraud. While he does one thing in the eyes of the public, he is planning quite another in the privacy of his home and within his large group of companions (mostly loyal crew members with a handful of other captains) who want the same thing he does: Umbar and a new community of brethren corsairs.

There is a Gondorian ambassador who is stationed in Umbar to oversee the renovation of the city and altering of corsairs and outlaws into Gondorian citizens. He is a pompous and dull-witted man who is completely unaware of what one of his political allies is up to. But his youngest son, Devon, knows. It is up to the ambassador’s son to stop the enthusiast, but he has little power and no backing of other political figures. Who are his friends in this rustic city and will he be able to save Umbar from the clutches of the imposter?

_____________________________________________

The purpose of the story is to: Reveal and defeat the corsair enthusiast so that the ambassador and Gondorian loyalists can continue with their renovation of Umbar.

This means we will know the story is over when: Jythralo Doran (the corsair enthusiast) is captured/killed/stopped in one way or another.

Starting Location: Umbar

Likely destination: Umbar
