Gangplank's Dreadnought Pistol

Gangplank's Dreadnought Pistol is a heavy-bore flintlock of Bilgewater make, ornately decorated yet built for brutal practicality. It is the personal firearm of the Reaver King, carried since he claimed that title and made into the ultimate instrument of his law. The Reaver King keeps the pistol loaded with black powder and shot at all times. He favors it over the blade, preferring to settle disputes with a single decisive shot rather than prolonged swordplay. In this he reflects the harsh order of Bilgewater, where a captain's gun is their law and authority belongs to those willing to use it. Over the years the pistol has been modified and rebuilt many times, yet it remains Gangplank's constant companion. More than a tool of violence, it is a symbol of his absolute authority in the lawless port city, and he carries it still.
