The player characters crew on a sand-pirate vessel called The Pillar of Indignity, captained by an old pirate called Solomon Za. Solomon is a black man with a bald head and close cropped salt-and-pepper beard. He wears a long black duster and carries two finely worked techno-magic handcannons pushed into his belt.

The Pillar is a sleek sand pirate vessel, not the largest in The Shifted Sands fleet, but one of the fastest and best-crewed. Solomon himself is committed firmly to the Resistance cause, putting him slightly at odds with his Admiral. The ship is wedge shaped, with a large techno-magic engine at the back powering a set of 14 huge insectoid legs. At the front, the great ship’s wheel sits behind a wickedly-armoured prow.
