Scenario Introduction: "The Vortex Awakens"
As the sun sinks low over the storm-glazed horizon, strange tides churn in defiance of the wind. The heart of the sea swirls unnaturally—an immense vortex spinning with a cadence that hums through hulls and bone alike. On opposite sandbars, old markers stand defiant: an Elven observation tower, slender and silver, its crystal vane spinning against the storm, and a crude Orcish monument—twisted coral and bone lashed into the grinning visage of what they believe to be the Kraken, but ancient texts name as Cthulhu. Neither side expected contact this far from contested waters, but as the pull of the vortex grows stronger, sails rise and drums beat. Something beneath the sea is stirring... and only one fleet will leave with its secrets.

After-Action Report: "The Vortex Awakens"
The sea boiled with fury as the two fleets clashed near the swirling heart of the vortex. From the outset, the Orcs charged forward with reckless aggression, their hulking warships pounding the Elven line with brutal efficiency. The Elves, graceful and precise, found themselves overwhelmed by the ferocity of the assault. Near the ancient monument, Orc shamans howled in triumph, believing the Kraken’s spirit stirred in their favor. The Elves held fast for a time, but ship after ship slipped beneath the waves or ran aground near the sandbars. Only a single support vessel, battered and smoldering, broke free of the carnage to warn the fleet beyond. As the waters calmed, the Orcs claimed the battlefield and whatever ancient whispers the vortex had to offer.
