An old ship whose faded hull and rat-gnawed sails belie its speed and the ferocity of its crew, Pale Prow is a ramshackle warship with an ornate rudder made from bone and wood. The rudder is not attached to the ship's wheel and is instead operated by a team of six vampire spawn, who turn it at the command of its dread captain. Pale Prow doesn't sail under the sun, and its appearance is always preceded by a heavy fog that appears without warning. It is said that Pale Prow has never been touched by a shipwright, despite its many injuries. By what means the ship is repaired, none can say.
Pale Prow is commanded by Captain Ineca Sufocan (LE male elf vampire), who sails from an island hidden by fog, where his harbor and mansion have fallen into disrepair. Ineca searches for a heart made of pearl, which contains drops of dried blood from his true love (Xolec the lost). This pearl heart has exchanged hands for decades, and the undead captain desires it above all things.
The remainder of the crew of Pale Prow is composed of undead servants, both corporeal and ghostly. Necromancers are drawn to Pale Prow whenever it nears land, and it is common for them to take up residence in the dark cabins below deck. A specter serves as lookout in the crow's nest.
