Pirates seize the king's castle from the deck of the Gull Throne

By our correspondent at sea
Pen sketch from the story: pirates on the deck of the Gull Throne

Four pirates stormed the royal ship Gull Throne at dusk and fought King Dorian Hale hand to hand across her deck. By dawn the king was overboard, and the castle he sailed to defend was theirs.

Witnesses name the raiders as Silas Wren, Red Dalia, Mad Cormac and the navigator Tom Rook. The king's loyal sword-bearer, Sir Hugh, held the stairs to the end, while the Harbor Master watched from the quay and sent word ashore.

The castle's great lamp answers only to the seals of those who took it. Each seal is stamped with its owner's initials, and the lamp has burned ever since.

Correction · Our earlier edition named the navigator Tom Rook among the raiders. He was locked below deck throughout. The fourth raider was Marta, whom the crew called Grey.
