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 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.

Footnotes

  1. The Vanguard disappeared on its maiden voyage from the Arthan shipyards to Araxia in AY 1094, one year before the first recorded mention of Edith Darkwater. Though it was presumed sunk at the time, it bore a striking resemblance to the Zephyr and was one of the earliest vessels to be outfitted with runeshot.
