Carrion Privateer Shoulders

Carrion Privateer Shoulders sit heavy on the frame, a palimpsest of sea-worn leather and bone. The leather is grainy as driftwood, rubbed by salt until it bears the tiny grooves of years. Silvered rivets hiss faintly when you tilt your neck, catching starlight like fish scales. Along the outer edge, vertebrae run from collarbone to shoulder cap, a grim necklace that glints with a dull blue-green patina. A tattered black sash threads through the openings, whispering of long nights aboard loud ships and the privateer’s oath to outpace death. The back bears a faded sigil—a pirate crew’s mark carved into the deck with rusted knives. In lamp-lit corners, the texture catches, revealing a burlap-like grain under the topcoat, the leather pitted as sea spray etched dunes across its surface. Lore threads cage the piece even more tightly: it is said to have belonged to a carrion privateer, a scavenger who traded mercy for gold, whose crew learned to read the sea like a ledger of betrayals. The motif speaks of corpses drifted ashore with rumors; sailors who vanished into fog and reappeared wearing a different truth. Some say the shoulders preserve mutinies resolved only by necromantic magic; others claim they were forged from spoils of a wrecked frigate hauled up by a storm that never ended. Whatever the truth, it feels like a diary stapled to the wearer’s shoulders: you remember every voyage and every oath broken along the way. In gameplay, the Carrion Privateer Shoulders carry the pirate-necromancer aesthetic without locking you into a single class. It’s a cosmetic skin first and foremost, letting any adventurer wear the bones-and-brine look while still using their current stats. Paired with the right colorway and trinkets, it becomes a character’s overture—a walking rumor that the seas whisper at the docks. Transmuted onto other shoulder pieces, it becomes a flexible signature for players chasing a rogue-like quiet or conjurer’s grim fanfare. When you crave the right price and provenance, the Saddlebag Exchange is where rumor becomes a number. Traders there trade skins like parcels of memory, and the Carrion Privateer Shoulders flirt with midrange values—enough to tempt a collector and enough to remind a buyer that some looks are rarer than a perfect storm. The exchange hums with voyages’ stories—some swear the shoulders outface rivals, others hear the bones rattle to a specter’s drum. Put together, the Carrion Privateer Shoulders aren’t merely gear; they’re a tide you wear, a line you speak, and a story you carry from merchant stalls to moonlit decks.
