...The Festival of Magnus
The day of the festival arrived, bringing with it an overwhelming energy that transformed the island town into a vibrant, chaotic spectacle.
According to legend, this was the day the sea god Magnus used his great, flowing beard to pull the island from the depths of the ocean, granting its people a home above the waves.
To honor him, the town erupted in celebration, with every street, dock, and alley bursting with life.
At the dock, the waters churned with activity as ships of all kinds arrived—massive galleons, sleek privateer vessels, and battle-worn pirate ships, their sails fluttering in the salty wind.
Merchants from all corners of the sea had come, their decks overflowing with crates of exotic goods, ranging from rare spices and shimmering pearls to bizarre sea creatures sealed in glass jars.
But it wasn't just traders who had come.
