The Sinking of the S.S. McKay (RPG AU)

Suspicious are high in the Kingdom of Belvast. After the apparent murder of King Brughaidh, one of his esteemed ships S.S. McKay has been sunk off the coast of Cobh. Much of her cargo has been lost, only adding to these difficult times. But was it truly an accident? A technical difficulty? The work of sea monsters?

Officials say they could not have afforded shutting down their exports from the small island nation, so had continued with a very limited route. News has come in this morning that the ship, however, has sunk. What seems odd about this is there were no distress calls. In fact, only hours into the trip did they report that nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

While most of the crew was also lost due to circumstances that could not be helped, there were few survivors who are now being sheltered in Cobh. Though officials will not comment more at this time, the citizens are becoming increasingly convinced that this may be a coup-d'etat from Tara. Only time will tell what is next for the island Nation. In the meantime, we can only carry on as normally as we can manage in the wake of such tragedies.
