Captain Ulssissaris
From EQ2-Daily.com EQ2 Wiki
There is a bit about the captain that has circulated around the secret pirate taverns of Norrath. Here is something about him.
Far to the southern coastline of the Thundering Steppes there lies a hidden cove. This cove rests at the end of what was once a river of the Plains of Karana, the regions former name in Old Antonica. The once mighty river was called the Plaincutter. The Age of Cataclysms put an end to the Plaincutter as easily as it put an end to Old Antonica. All that remains of that mighty flow is a wide trough whose southern terminus opens into the hidden cove. The centaurs of the Thundering Steppes have erected a wall to seal this cove off from the Plaincutter basin that has been renamed Deadriver Basin. The centaurs stumbled upon the cove in the early days of the Age of Destiny. There they found a beachhead that sloped into the water. Mountainous and impassable arms of rock nearly enclosed the cove. Where these arms did not meet the gap was filled with the hulk of a large pirate ship that met its demise attempting to enter the cove. As the ship was gutted by daggers of stone its belly was emptied of its riches...plundered pirate booty!
The centaurs were quick to attempt the salvage of the pirate treasure and they were also quick to find the fate of the pirate ship's crew. The centaurs were met by a mighty octopus lurking in the cove. This was no ordinary octopus it had great arcane power! The tentacled beast was reported to cast spells. Some centaurs fell instantly. Those that did not fall from the first volley of spells attempted to flee the cove only to be met by a horde of undead pirates, the crew had risen by the great beast. Through this wall of undead mariners only a few centaurs managed to escape the cove.
The centaurs fled back to their own land. They told the tale and rallied a second force to return to retrieve the treasures of the cove. As the days of preparation went on the centaurs that escaped soon met a grisly fate as they were attacked in the night by the undead pirates, their corpses dragged back to the depths of the cove. It would seem that any who visit the cove never escape the curse of the cove. The centaurs, a superstitious lot, went back to the cove's pass and erected a wall to seal the evil within. The secret of the cove was kept amongst the tribe never to be told to others. As for those adventurers who somehow stumble upon a way to enter the cove...they will learn. No one escapes the cove.
