It is said that the Maelstrom was doomed from the start. A swirling vortex of woe and despair that has drawn in the unwary and spat out the broken.
Legend has it that the Maelstrom was once a peaceful place, a serene and idyllic land where the sun shone bright and the sea was calm.
But then, something went terribly wrong. The gods, it is said, were displeased with the inhabitants of the land and unleashed a curse upon them.
The people, once so happy and content, were transformed into a race of woeful creatures, doomed to wander the treacherous waters of the Maelstrom forever.
And so, if you ever find yourself in the Maelstrom, beware. For you are not just lost, you are doomed.
