The Lampman

The Lampman, Wrecker of the Eastern Shoals is one of The Wreckers.

The man with the lantern. He walks the cliffs on dark nights and hangs a false light where the harbour mouth should be. Ships steer for it. The rocks do the rest.

What to bring

A swarm of light hulls. Medium broadsides cut them down. Heavy guns will not.

Their fleet

10 War Sloop
3 Brigantine

Who they are

The Lampman was a harbour pilot once, at a port that no longer exists. When the merchant company bought the harbour and dismissed him, he took his lantern up the cliffs and hung it where the leading light used to be. The first ship that struck was one of theirs. He has never stopped. His ledger names one man above him: the Quartermaster, who buys what the Lampman strips and asks no questions about the crews.

The hunt

This is a Wreckers quest: it is taken from a lead, not from a questgiver, and the lead is spent on it.
