Jorah heard rumors of such creatures, once human or elvish, but somehow warped by magic. The chantry clergy he'd met on his travels denounced them, spilling tails of their greed for power and the loss of their humanity as they let the faucet of magic run. But Jorah met the cautious look in her eye.
He was indebted to her. All the passengers owed her their safety, so long as this awkward peace remained. After looking around to try and meeting the worried glances of the other passengers and sailors, Jorah knelt on one knee and bowed his head to the creature. One by one, everyone around lowered - recognizing the inheritance of the ship to a new captain.
