=Terror of the Seas=
Such ends the '''Tale of the Forefather''', a tragic story with very real implications. It can very well be assumed that the Itol refer to the Iotold people, a seafaring people who nearly met a supernatural end - likely that of the Lord of the Tempest - weren't for their ability to adapt and take their whales to the sky. It is also known that the Raptorlords also fare the Northern Sea in search for battle against their fellow Cairnsmen, somehow able to traverse it without drawing the ire of the Lord and His ilk. There are even accounts of their ability to summon forth '''Stormrays''' from the icy depths to assist them on the waters, easily suggesting an alliance with the Lord. Though it is unknown exactly what the Iotold did to cause such devastation to their homelands, the story is sure to involve the Raptorlords in one way or another.

As the Raptorlords travel the Northern Sea to fight each other, they are not averse to taking the fight to others they encounter along the way. They are known to raid trading vessels as well as going hull-to-hull with even the mighty Imperial Warships. Despite the heavy armoring and vastly superior firepower, the Raptorlords manage to be incredibly swift on the violent surf. And when that fails, they are still able to summon forth terrors of the deep to give them the edge in a naval battle. To no one's surprise, the Raptorlord menace is something which can certainly spell a ship's doom on the Northern Sea, leading most sailors to avoid them at all costs. It has even forced others to cease maritime trading with the Empire altogether.
