Having stepped down from his role as Speaker with the [[Tavern Troupe Performing Order]], Kasto spent most of his time drunkenly sailing around Elanthia and hunting treasure with [[Anjinson]]. Eventually, even his partner in treasure lost contact with him. Sightings of the Rakash grew from infrequent to not at all, leaving many to wonder what else he may be up to in his travels.

===Interior===
A supple blacktip sharkskin mat adorns the golden sand floor of this small room. A small firepit made up of an arrangement of moss covered stones, with a sun-bleached shark's jaw hanging above it, rests between a narrow rotted boat and a salt-stained captain's desk carved with sea creatures pushed up against the driftwood walls. The room holds a mild scent of sea spray. You also see a drowned sailor, a thick port hole window and a driftwood sailor's footlocker with scrimshaw nautical scenes with several things on it.

The teeth have been removed from the predator's gigantic mouth and instead decorate the flattened tail like a mosaic.


===Wall===
Despite being bleached by the sun and horribly warped during an unknown amount of time spent adrift at sea, the boards serve as adequate covering for a home interior. A myriad of cubbyholes are built straight into the wall, providing storage for a plethora of various items and supplies. Strange stains and other obvious battle damage lend to the impression that these boards may not have been willingly tossed into the water.

*On the driftwood wall you see a sun-bleached shark's jaw, a ship's wheel, a broken boat oar, a deep blue silk wall panel painted with crashing ocean waves, a shark-tooth tipped trident, a stuffed swordfish and an admiral's cane topped with a tempest sapphire.


==Kasto's Home==
*In the driftwood wall you see a rusted key, a wicker tackle box, a wicker fisherman's creel decorated with fish skulls and feathered lures, a mesh diver's belt with small steel hooks, a steel handled diver's knife with a serrated edge and a cedar mariner's case with a galleon-shaped lock.

===Desk===
You see nothing unusual.

*On the driftwood desk you see a creamy albatross feather quill with a metal nib and a squat glass inkwell with brass feet.

===Boat===
Carved along side this boat made into a bed is the name "Last Chance." Last chance for what is not readily apparent. A ragged pillow and a thread-bare blanket make up the rest of this make-shift bed.

*On the rotted boat you see a blue stuffed shark and a large stuffed sea turtle.

===Fireplace===
The smooth stones are each about the side of a head, and stacked to form a broad wall-like chimney face -- an inexpensive yet effective way to collect and radiate heat.

===Stand===
Set with a solid base, the dark stand rises up to three sets of bars, providing spaces for multiple pieces of armor to be stored.

*On the dragonwood stand you see a shark skull mask, a boat plank shield, some rigging gloves, some salt-stained leathers with a skull and crossbones flag embossed on the left bicep, a sailor's oilskins and some fishscale armor.

===Rack===
Formed out of solid metal rods lashed together with metallic fishing line, the rack is topped with dangerous-looking pieces of curved metal that are positioned to hold the hilt of each weapon placed in it.

===Footlocker===
Broad sections of sun-bleached bone are affixed to a sturdy driftwood frame using a seaworthy adhesive, creating this large piece of ship's luggage. Each of the square shaped plates are scrimshawed with a tiny scene showing the daily activities aboard a vessel and the hardships of sea life. Salt-pitted iron bands reinforce the footlocker against damage, engraved with images of merfolk and sea serpents.


Perfectly fitting the village of Fever Point, Kasto's home is a prominent feature to the area. Choosing to decorate with knick knacks and junk collected from the beach around the cabin, it's really no wonder why Kasto himself refers to it as his "fishing shack."

*In the sailor's footlocker you see a sea-green silk vest painted with a whirling grey shark, a silvery-blue sailcloth boat cloak fastened with four silver buttons, a leather sheath with bronze banding around the mouth, an admiral's sailcloth backpack adorned with gleaming brass buttons, a rust-colored admiral's greatcoat with embroidered cuffs, a pair of heavy black boots with steel buckles, a polished sea pebble bracelet, a grey metal letter opener with a salt pitted blade and a ebonwood handle, a salt-stained burlap lootsack, a whip-thin electric eel, some driftwood, a scrimshaw marlinspike, a circular hat box, a book bound in black leather titled "Battle of the Reshal Sea", a cartographer's geometry compass trimmed in silver leaf, a grey sharkskin cartographer's toolbag clasped with a brass compass rose, a battered brass cartographer's spyglass, a salt-stained tome bound in green leather with "Courses" on the spine, a wardrobe trunk secured with heavy leather straps, a teak bolt box engraved with the image of a large galleon, a deep black pirate shirt clasped at the throat with a large blood ruby pendant, a rugged leather bandolier, a navigator's logbook bound in sun-bleached canvas, a blue suede pouch accented by a beaded seagull feather, an admiral's tricorne hat and a pair of crisp white gloves.

History

Early Years

Kasto really has no idea who his parents are. His earliest memory is of waking up on the beaches of M'Riss, where he spent many of his youngest years. His love for the sea and desire to see beyond the volcanic rock spurred him to join various crews departing from the Wharf's End.

It is believed that while serving with one of these crews that he first crossed paths with the Red Sash. He claims that the pirates followed him back to his home where was captured and taken aboard one of their vessels as a personal slave to the Captain. Working his way up through their ranks, he eventually secured a position on a looting vessel assigned to pillage conquered vessels after skirmishes.

A Life of Sailing

The details of his escape are unknown, but somehow he returns to the island of M'Riss with a vessel of his own. A nearly wrecked schooner which many thought mere salvage material, but Kasto saw life in the grey-ing timber and named it the Raw Deal.

The weather-beaten schooner was used for a few years to haul supplies for the Rissans and also as a looting vessel after naval battles. He began picking up crews in Hara'jaal which landed him in some trouble with the pirate clans and he quickly abandoned this practice, choosing to stick with his fellow Rissan sailors.

Moving to the Mainland

Having amassed a deal of wealth, Kasto was left with what to do with it all. He was able to persuade the Administrator of Orders of his honest business tactics and commitment to excellence which lead to him being given an exciting opportunity, the chance to re-open the Tavern Troupe Performing Order.

In order to facilitate this, the young Rakash thrust himself into the social life among the mainlanders. Taking both a citizenship with the Province of Zoluren and attending regular Crossings town meetings.

Life in Crossings

His schooner has not been seen at the standard ports, and he now regularly claims crew positions aboard various ships. At some point in time, he acquired ownership of another vessel. Details about how he did this are unknown, but he has been confirmed as the owner and captain of a cog by the name of the Black Storm.

Recently, a publication was put into circulation which featured an interview with the mysterious Kasto. It has been placed here for your viewing pleasure.

Returning to the Sea

Having stepped down from his role as Speaker with the Tavern Troupe Performing Order, Kasto spent most of his time drunkenly sailing around Elanthia and hunting treasure with Anjinson. Eventually, even his partner in treasure lost contact with him. Sightings of the Rakash grew from infrequent to not at all, leaving many to wonder what else he may be up to in his travels.

As he became a more frequent figure around Zoluren, a mysterious book appeared on the shelves of the local library.

Witness claim that Kasto himself destroys these books on sight and is currently paying handsomely for any copies remaining.

Kasto's Home

Perfectly fitting the village of Fever Point, Kasto's home is a prominent feature to the area. Choosing to decorate with knick knacks and junk collected from the beach around the cabin, it's really no wonder why Kasto himself refers to it as his "fishing shack."
