Editing Astral Sea Freebooters (section)

=== Leonan Scrat ===
<i>(Shifter, Warder, Unaligned)</i><br>

Born bearing the spirit marks of his chieftain ancestors, Leonan was destined to become the leader and champion of his tribe.  Leonan channeled the spirits in defense of his Shifter tribe against any and all threats that came anywhere near his island chain on Archipelego.  Chief Leonan slayed the great behemoth from the depths, defeated the dangerous shark men of the east, and forced the Thunder Storm spirit to bow before him. 

Then came the strangers.  A small ship landed on Leonan’s island home.  It was one of the sleeker, faster ships he’d only heard stories off, something called a spelljammer.  It carried a motley crew of many races he’d never seen before.  They requested refuge, saying they’d ran out of supplies on a long journey and would be on their way within a few days, if they could be given a safe harbor.  Having no prior relations with these types of men, but sensing a certain primal kinship with these Freebooters, Leonan welcomed them with open arms.

Later that evening, another ship approached the island, though this one wrapped in a strange aura of foreboding.   The ship breached the shoreline, and waves of men came pouring out from it, though of mixed races, they all wore the same uniform.  Thinking this some kind of assault against the tribe, Leonan mustered the men of the tribe and led them in an attempt to repel the invaders.  The invaders commanded powerful spirits and fought with disciplined skill.  Even with the help of his own Freebooter allies, Leonan and his braves were defeated.

Leonan was dragged in chains before the chief of the invaders, "Captain Elliot Sandhearst" and was found guilty of crimes against the Confederation, including but not limited to "Treason, Espionage, Piracy, and Disrupting the Natural Order."  Leonan's people were, one by one, forced to renounce their beloved chief.  Those who defied Captain Sandhearst were put to death.  Leonan begged his people to renounce him, so that they would live on, but many did not.

Leonan himself was sentenced to eternal imprisonment, and placed aboard the prison ship for transport to Carceri.
