An ongoing series of fantasy adventures, "The Adventures of Solaire" tells the story of the dread pirate Captain Solaire Ravenheart and his tales all across Lorian, from the the steam-powered world of Dinas to the magical superpower of Archone. What follows is every deed of sabotage, back-stabbing, intimidation, piracy, demon-summoning, automaton-killing, government-toppling, crew wrangling, and general defiance he committed in his quest for his ultimate goal: to save his sister River.

In this first installment, Patience, our charming narrator, takes some time to explore the Ravenheart family history in Dinas and how they came to become the greatest shipbuilders in all of Lorian. Also, Solaire kills his parents.
