Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn is the leader of the Maelstrom and the Chief Admiral of the city-state of Limsa Lominsa.
Lore[]
As it has been since the ill-fated Galadion grounded off the coast of Vylbrand countless generations past, the leader of Limsa Lominsa has borne the title Admiral, for she not only commands the thalassocracy, but also the armada that defends it. Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn is the latest to take the city-state's helm, and she brings with her an impressive list of laurels, such as the discovery of a safe route across the Indigo Deep to the recently discovered western continent, and the unprecedented sinking of an "invincible" fleet dispatched by the northern nations beyond the Bloodbrine Sea.
She is honest and steadfast in her ways, but at the same time can prove stubborn and uncompromising. And though once a pirate of high standing herself, upon becoming Admiral, she has gone out of her way to impose strict regulations on piracy within the thalassocracy, drawing the ire of nearly every brigand crew hailing out of Limsa Lominsa. Her reinstatement of the Maelstrom, and the power it is granted over the city-state's privately owned vessels, is viewed as but another measure to tighten her grip on the nation.
Background[]
The sole child of Bloefhis Bloefhiswyn, a former captain of the League of Lost Bastards, Merlwyb worked as a crew member on the flagship up until the moment she discovered that her father had relations with the Sahagin. Betrayed and furious, she issued a single battle challenge to Bloefhis on a deserted island in accordance with pirate tradition. She led the Lost Bastards when she returned on her own.
Then, in the manner of her people, the Sea Wolves, she sailed the high seas and found safe passage across the Indigo Deep to the recently discovered western continent. With such achievements under her belt, she competed in the Trident and won. Since then, she has served as Admiral of Limsa Lominsa.
Merlwyb has happily spent the majority of her forty-two years at sea, yet she can hardly afford to command a ship as an admiral. Instead, she indulges in good wines, her second pleasure. She reportedly has a special preference for a deep chalice of Lohmani red.[1]
