“Is there anything better than the fresh sea breeze in your hair, a clear horizon, and the planks of a fast ship beneath your feet? No one will ever again tell us what to do. We are our own masters, and they have what we want. On my command… Board!”
Nadaljeff, the daughter of a Bornish merchant princess and her Mohan lover, was born in the colony of Port Stoerrebrandt. Rumor says she sold herself into slavery to escape her domineering mother. Many sailors tell stories of how she started out as a rowing slave but soon became a navigator in the Horasian navy, and from there went on to become one of the most feared pirates in the Southern Sea.
Now a fixture among the pirates of the Charybbean, Nadaljeff may even come to succeed the infamous pirate king, Lolonna, after leading a mutiny and stealing one of his ships. However, she does not care much for politics. Instead, she promises her crew a good haul and lets them manage their own affairs aboard her ship, the Bloodray. She is extremely clever and acts only as ruthless as necessary to maintain her reputation, but she avoids harming her crew. Unless, of course, someone questions her marksmanship with the balestrina or asks her how she lost an eye…
Voice of the People
+ “Miserable cur, aye! But Nadaljeff is not above selling your own goods back to you afterwards. That’s what I call a sense for business!”
− “Don’t be a hero, you understand me? That captain is a blooddrinking maniac. She will rob you, certainly, but it is your actions that will determine whether she also enslaves you, maims you, or sinks the tub on which you sail.”
