The legend of the Leviathan

The legend
The Leviathan is a god-like creature that rules over the Rough sea. It is a white creature that doesn't need to eat, it has the shape of a large whale and is big like an Island. When it surfaces, it lets out the "chant of the sea," the nickname given by the Tortugans of Tortuga Isle, Black Heart, and Karkaros that witness the sounds of the creature. The Leviathan is venerated by some pirates as being the one that directs the winds into the rich shores that the pirates rade.

The Rough sea has its rough nature because of the conflict between the Leviathan and the Kraken. The Kraken is a squid like creature that measures about 4 ships. The battle between the two mitical creatures is said to have caused great losses to the inhabitants of the islands around the Rough Sea. The Kraken is said to cause the destruction of many ships when sailing the glaciers.

The weakening of the Turtles
Tortuga Isle is the site of the death of a mithical Turtle. They are responsible for the maintenance of equilibrium within all of the seas. Tortuga Islanders venerate this Turtle and its blessing. With the conquest of Tortuga Isle by goons that didn't pay respect for the holy site of the Turtle, the power of the Turtles diminished, and the conflict between the Kraken and the Leviathan worsened. For this reason, one Turtle has given enlightenment to a Tortugan pirate.

Revelation and mission
The pirate known as Technician was sailing the Rough sea. It was a cloudy day, and the sea was somewhat calm. All was well when his ship was intercepted by the Kraken. With one swing of its tentacle, he broke the ship in half and threw two thirds of the crew into the frigid ocean. The captain, Technician, went to the quaterback and screamed to the Rough Sea: "Oh Turtle of the Golden Island; Once land of the pirates and now land of the filthy; may your blessing strike our crew; and may the danger run from your greatness."

In an instand the clowdy sky opened to a ray of light that scared the monster apeared. In the distance what seemed to be an Island was aproaching. It was one of the Ancient Turtles, just like the one that died in Tortuga Isle.It was like an Island that sailed the sea, with a lot of trees and a volcano on its center. It aproached the now only survivor and gave him howsing. It told him: "Captain of the pirates: I come here to your safty guarantee; There are are lots of deathes as you see. The future upholds lots of truble; I come here to give you a decree. Seven full moons from now you shall make a ritual; in the mean time build a temple in a setlement, call it Nautical, In it build a temple and when the seventh moon has come make a ritual; in it you shall pray for the Leviathan and the Gods. Wear traditional sea wearings and bring oferings to the Gods, you shall be the mensenger of the Turtles and ask them for a favor. In order to restore the balance Nautical will become the house of a swamp where the Kraken wont be able to terrorise the sailors, serving as a new safe harbour for merchants that once saw it in Tortuga Isle. Just like Kronesia is protected by its swamps from the wrath of the sea; Nautical shall be protected with a new swamp.
