'''Edith Darkwater''' (also known as '''Edith of Darkwater''', '''Edith the Dreaded''', '''Edith the Bloody''', and '''The Dread Queen of Darkwater''') was the notorious leader of the Darkwater Dozen, a pirate fleet which harassed merchant ships and the fledgling [[Belgrit|Belgritian]] navy from [[AY 1095]] to [[AY 1122]], as well as conducting other raids along the southern coast of [[Delun]] from [[Al-Uqh]] to [[Ordinatus]].

Aside from her more mundane exploits, Edith has also ascended into a figure of myth and legend, said to have stolen the moon from the sky and sunk the entire Belgritian armada and all manner of other such nonsense. One of these rumors is that she possessed a flute which could command the wind to carry her ship wherever she wished. A replica of this flute is held in the Belgritian Hall of Curiosities in Domren.

It is unknown when (and indeed whether) Edith Darkwater died. Although she disappeared centuries ago and appeared completely human, rumors of half-elven parentage and stolen youth-sustaining magic persist to this day. And, of course, ghost stories are told in which she (and often the 4 other captains in her fleet whose ships disappeared amidst uncertain circumstances) continue to raid unsuspecting vessels even in death.
