The largest pirate group in all of Grimnest. With their infamous leader, Nubia, they roam the Grand Divide, looting as they aim to rule the seas.
Five kids from Old Port Royal
The pirate group Heaven’s Fall originally started out as a small-time crew of five sailors: Ceaser Noir, Greybeard, Roben Krag, Diego Cloise, and Salador Columbus. Ceaser, Greybeard, and Krag grew up together in the slums of Old Port Royal. Ceaser Noir was a man with radical ideas who dreamed of being free from the oppression they lived in every day. Greybeard, being younger, looked up to Ceaser like a brother. Roben would have been a bit like the little sister of the group and was faster to get into a scrap than any of the others.
Together, under the young Noir’s leadership, the trio began to push back against the poverty of their upbringing. Picking a fight with anyone connected to wealth. Eventually, they would form a small-time gang that did mostly petty crime to get by. Their fortunes would change for the better, however, when robbing a merchant’s home provided them the opportunity to steal a large ship. So, with a midnight raid on the docks, the crew had finally themselves a boat.
From crew to armada
After their first real ship battle — a fight with mercenaries hired to retrieve the stolen vessel — Caeser realized they needed more power if they were going to survive the Divide. To do that meant to get serious, and thus Heaven’s Fall was born. A subtle tribute to their fallen founder, Diego Cloise: “Though the Heavens may fall upon us, we shall always rise.”
Over the next few years, they would absorb other pirate gangs by Caeser’s charisma or sheer force. At its largest, Caeser’s Heaven’s Fall had 25 ships under his command. To Ceaser, they were living the life they had all dreamed of. However, not all of the Fallen were enjoying the pirate life as much as he was — and the betrayal that followed would set up the rise of the captain the world knows today.
