Soon you will find yourself lured out into the open ocean, unable to safely retreat, while they circle you like sharks. They will bait you into thinking you can catch them, but make no mistake: Sea Elf cutters are faster than any ship in our fleet.
Never pursue a retreating Sea Elf vessel, even if you think they are hobbled. The Maormer take full advantage of that fact when raiding our trade vessels, or ambushing our fleets.
They are so able at plying the waves that a Maormer ship can remain at sea indefinitely, so long as it is sea-worthy. Take heed of that as my first lesson: if you spend any amount of time on sea or shore, you will cross paths with Sea Elves.Īs their name suggests, the Sea Elves are at home on the water. This guide will help prepare you for the day that you inevitably do. Whether you are a recruit for the Royal Navy, or merely taking a voyage into open waters, you will want to know something of the Maormer before you have the misfortune of spotting their ships on the horizon.
