Editing Darklord (section)

==Captain Pieter van Riese==
Darklord of the Sea of Sorrows. Originally from Gothic Earth's version of the Netherlands, Pieter was a ship's captain obsessed with finding the legendary Northwest Passage. When his ship was sunk in an encounter with an iceberg, he offered his own life along with the lives of his crew to any being who could help them forward, and the Dark Powers answered him. Naturally, they didn't actually give him what he wanted.

Pieter is now a ghost, and the captain of the ghost ship ''The Relentless''. He has the power to summon the ghosts of those who killed others and then were killed in the Sea of Sorrows to crew his ship, and can sail anywhere in his domain. However, he can no longer explore as he wishes, since the island domains in the Sea of Sorrows move around and he can only sail to land that he's chartered to go to. 

Pieter is Ravenloft's answer to the legends of the ''Flying Dutchman'', a ghost ship that is unable to make port and sails the seas forever. Most versions say that the curse is because of her captain, Hendrick van der Decken, refusing to go to port while crossing the Cape of Good Hope, declaring that he would not make port "though I should beat about here till the day of judgment". He got shipwrecked in a storm, and the ghost of his ship is now bound by his curse to never be able to rest at port.

'''Pietra Van Riese'''. Not much is known about her due to being in the "Other Domains of Dread" section, and therefore only getting one paragraph to herself. She was a ruthless pirate with a fondness for keelhauling her victims, and now she's a ruthless ''zombie'' pirate who speaks through the mouths of her undead crew.
