A Sea Hawk's Seven-Year Raid

You are a young man of the Sea Hawks, a tribe that lives very richly on an island of sparse resources. Your people owe their lifestyle to their prowess at seacraft and at taking all they need and more at spearpoint. Ever seven years the warriors embark on a grand raid up and down the mainland coasts, and this year with your father taken ill it's your job to captain his ship and take what plunder you can.
