Traitors Landing (Traitor Series: Part I)

(Click to enlarge)
The tattered sails of a ship gracelessly adorns the long abandoned port of rotting wood and yellowed stone. The creaking dock sways from the slightest breeze and the crude buildings offer no protection from the weather. This makeshift port was not meant to stand against time, but to hold a certain crew for only a moment.

My research into the motions of the Red Pharaoh suggests that the people who built this temporary coastal settlement were of the Ul'Tannek clan from Rubaiyat. The amount of yellowing on these stones puts the creation of this port at about the time of the rising of the Red Pyramid from Lake Angra. The Ul'Tannek have been loyal to the cause of the Red Pharaoh ever since Ur-Khamset first established himself in Rubaiyat. I fully anticipate that my exploration into this abandoned port will yield some history into the machinations of these Ul'Tannek clansmen in support of the return of the Red Pharaoh.

However, perhaps my most intriguing discovery at this broken port thus far has not been in regards to its origins, but a phrase etched into the wood of the docked boat:

I AM NOT THE TRAITOR
