Female half-orc

Captain of a ship in Brightshore's fleet.

Marxa has leathery, sun-baked, olive-green skin. She wears a plain captain's coat and dozens of colored glass beads woven into her wiry, raven-black hair.

Marxa is known for her competitive, adventurous spirit and short temper. She has a reputation for holding her crew to exceptionally high standards and firing them when they don't make the cut.

Marxa's ship is a small, fast caravel called the Eel. She usually sails with a complement of 15-25. Ranking members include:

• Jebidiah Bravemarch. First Mate.
• Vasco. Pilot.
• Greta. Cook and Surgeon.
• Kulgus. Fog Navigator.

Marxa charges passengers on her ship 1 sp per mile if they're headed her way. For 100 gp a day, she'll sail adventurers to unexplored parts of Lorica, but only if they have a specific destination and a solid plan.
