VAIN THE SWORD Salt and Stars Edition The sword may be in vain, but we’ll take our chances. By Renefor , adapted with permission from Phlox ’s original edition Art by Thorø Larsen Pirates. Robbery on the high seas, merchants of favour and fortune, people without borders or a king or oathkeeper to tell them what to do. Democracy at its finest, and gold to be had. Or gems. Or really big barrels of rum. Each year is not like the last on the high seas, Hell, each week isn’t like the last. But if one thing stays the same, it’s that we get to decide our own laws and our own fates. The sword may be in vain, but we’ll take our chances. Click on the image below to view Salt and Stars!
