A ship mistress of Varkos Varactyr's Wraith fleet, Bellatash, arrived in Ghur through a realm gate she inadvertently sailed into in Aqshy. Now known as the "Maelstrom Rift", this realm gate swirls around the oceans of both realms, moving from place to place as an everlasting storm. Bellatash found a fishing village in decline upon exiting the Maelstrom Rift and soon bled her way through the village, sating her hunger. On the cliffs above the the village sat an ancient stone lighthouse. Bellatash claimed the lighthouse keeper as her thrall, giving him the gift of half life and the necrotic arts. Bellatash has since made the lighthouse her base of power, dubbing it the Crimson Spire and constructing a chair of driftwood and bone in it's main hall. Bellatash preys upon the nearby shipping lanes, using the lighthouse beacon as a lure, growing her raised legions and looking for suitable candidates to expand her court.
