BEASTS OF DESTRUCTION

Throughout history, ships have vanished at sea. One historic ship was the 'Maiden Crusader' Sent by Oren in 1158. With 3 decks and a crew of 80, this ship sunk somewere 150 km south of Alandar. A ship, sailing in 1164 near were the ship sunk, reported seeing 'A massive, black shape moving below the surface. Possibly twice as big as our ship'. Another sea-beast,named the Kraken by Alandarian sailors, is said to be a huge beast with tousands of long, thin arms that reach up from below a ship, grabbing across its deck and pulling it below sea before the crew can abandon ship. No survivors are reported of witnessing it from a ship it has sunk, but a Fishing ship, the Red Pike, is said to have witnessed it pull down a ship as it as fleeing.
