Early History

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 was while serving with one of these crews that he first crossed paths with the Red Sash Pirates. He was captured and taken aboard one of their vessels as a personal slave to the captain.

The details of his escape are unknown but somehow he returns to the island of M'Riss with a vessel of his own. 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.

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.

His schooner has not been seen at the standard ports, and he now regularly claims crew positions aboard various ships.

A Pirates Life

As he became a more frequent figure around Zoluren, a mysterious book appeared on the shelves of the local library. Though it did not name him outright, the characters and places depicted were obviously taken from his past. The validity of the claims presented here have never been fully verified. Witness claim that Kasto himself destroys these books on sight and is currently paying handsomely for any copies remaining.

Kasto's Home

You also see a sturdy stacked stone cabin with a sign saying "Gone Fishing!" hanging on the front door.

[Kasto's Home]

A golden sand floor spreads across this small room into surrounding walls of rough-hewn oak. A fireplace built of rounded river stones, with a ship's wheel hanging above it, stands guard over the sailcloth hammock and driftwood desk that rest upon a supple blacktip sharkskin mat covering the floor. A mild scent of sea spray fills the air. You also see a drowned sailor, a rustic oak door, a white-painted wicker nest chair, a driftwood sea chest etched with nautical symbols with a sun-bleached shark's jaw on it and a dark steel weapon rack studded with sharp metal hooks with a pirate's scimitar tied with a black silk scarf on it.

  • On the sailcloth hammock you see a large stuffed sea turtle and a blue stuffed shark.
  • On the driftwood desk you see a creamy albatross feather quill with a metal nib and a squat glass inkwell with brass feet.
  • In the sea chest you see a deep blue silk wall panel painted with crashing ocean waves, a grey metal letter opener with a salt pitted blade and a ebonwood handle, a shark's tooth suspended from a braided cord and a deep black pirate shirt clasped at the throat with a large blood ruby pendant.
