- 1Blacklake District
- 1.8Blacklake Factions
Blacklake District is the first adventure zone met by the players, after the tutorial areas (Neverwinter Fields and Sleeping Dragon Bridge) and Protector's Enclave.It was the old noble quartier of Neverwinter, containing even a Zoo.It is divided in two subzones, the Tatters and Riverside which are connected by a bridge.The area lies in ruin, overrun by the Nashers who fight to retain the territory against the Neverwinter Guard and other minor factions that plot in the shadows of the district.
Blacklake District is also the setting of the first Skirmish, Blacklake Terror!
Lore[editedit source]
Although the Blacklake District stands largely intact in the wake of the various disasters that laid Neverwinter low, those who inhabit the district have violently resisted Lord Neverember's plans to resettle it. The Nashers, the more violent faction of the anti-Neverember Sons of Alagondar, have claimed the area for themselves, daring Neverember's soldiers and mercenaries to try to take it from them by force.As if the Nashers weren't enough of a problem by themselves, there are rumors that a secret society of devil-worshippers operates in the Blacklake District, where they slowly infiltrate the ranks of both the Nashers and Neverember's troops. Reports of kidnappings are common, and in the southern end of the district one can even find diabolic symbols left as graffiti on the walls of the crumbling buildings.
There is much to be done if the Blacklake District is to be safe for Neverwinter's civilians once more.

Blacklake Factions[editedit source]
The Nashers[editedit source]
Main Article: Nashers
The Nashers are the most violent group of the anti-Neverember faction 'Sons of Alagondar'. They are led by Arlon Bladeshaper and his second-in-command, the Uthgard barbarian Karzov, who leads the rebel forces in Blacklake District.They are the strongest faction in Blacklake and that's why they brought Neverwinter's Crown there after they stole it. After a number of investigation quests the heroes are able to retrieve the crown and defeat such important Nashers as Karzov himself.
The Dead Rats[editedit source]
Main Article: Dead Rats
The Dead Rats are a rutheless gang of wererats who have burrowed into Neverwinter's filthy underbelly, running their criminal organization out of the sewers near Blacklake. The gang recruits from among the region's scum, infecting new members with lycanthropy to ensure their loyalty.
The Dead Rats claim that they were once part of the infamous Dead Rats thieves' guild of Luskan, but left after a falling out caused a divide within the gang. This claim has yet to be either substantiated or disproven, but it would explain the gang's sudden appearance and immediate success in their various criminal ventures.
The Dead Rats live in the district sewer. During the game storyline they break their agreement with the Nashers by kidnapping the Nashers' agent Gothwan. Among their ranks are simple infantry warriors, Brutes, enchanters and powerful warriors. They are met only in the homonymous quest, except for a Brute rat called Sewer Guard who can be met in the Tatters and rare patrols in the far west end of the district.
Ghaunadaur[editedit source]
Hazel the Alchemist, working nearby the lake, has been studying the sludge. Although her findings were inconclusive, she suspected that the sludge had somehow become composed of something else beyond what she had expected. It had strange, almost magical properties, although where such properties could have come from is a mystery.
The sludge covering Blacklake all around is the main study topic of Hazel the Alchemist.During the storyline she asks the character to retrieve some sludge and the alchemic supplies stolen by the Nashers. However, even if their studies clearly show the magical proprieties of the sludge, the truth only comes out during the skirmish Blacklake Terror!, when a group of Zombies and undead Hulks storms the district led by a Ghaunadaur cleric, who is thought to be the origin of the sludge magic.
Ghaunadaur, also known as The Elder Eye and That Which Lurks, is a greater deity and the god of abominations. This monstrous deity demands that his followers' prayers to him come coupled with the sacrifice of a living being, particularly delighting in creatures that offer themselves without resistance. To curry his favor, many of his priests use mind-affecting magics on potential sacrifices in order to ensure such a level of compliance.There are secret, subterranean altars and cults to The Elder Eye all over Toril, but to have such a powerful worshipper in the middle of Neverwinter, even in its ruined state, is strange. It appears that the Ghaunadaur priest was not attracted by the Blacklake sludge, but that the sludge was transformed by Ghaunadaur's power. It's unclear if the priest was working alone, or if he is part of something larger.
Ashmadai[editedit source]
Main Article: Ashmadai
The Ashmadai use a pod system to protect themselves from being discovered. Members of equal ranking report separately to their superiors and almost never know each other. Those superiors then report separately to their superiors and almost never know each other, and so on up through the ranks, or so it is assumed.Because of this system, the Neverwinter Guard investigators have had an extremely difficult time learning any information from the few Ashmadai cultists they manage to identify and capture. Whoever is at the top of the chain of command is in little danger of being discovered any time soon.
Investigator Rannigan came to the conclusion that the Nashers have been infiltrated by Ashmadai. A tiefling hero can be asked to look for Ashmadai Marks used by the concealed cultists to recognize themselves.This is the only way to get the following Lore.
Many mortals wish for power. Some work for it, some steal it, some study to learn it, and some take it by force. Some, however, are willing to buy it from the denizens of the Nine Hells. Such a transaction typically comes at a high price if the mortal wishes to be granted great power, but many devils delight in bargaining and will gladly haggle what they can out of mortals for a lesser boon as well.There are no rules when it comes to bargaining with devils, except those that are agreed upon. Any who wish to take such a risk would do well to remember that devils are irredeemably evil creatures that consume mortal souls to fuel their grand infernal designs. No matter what the devil may say or do, no matter how much it claims to value fairness and openness in its dealings, its ultimate goal will be to take from you your mortal soul.

Blackwake is a game that was released on February 24, 2017. It was developed by OneEyeTyler and Dakota of Mastfire Studios Pty Ltd. Blackwake is a multiplayer naval FPS focused on teamwork and cooperation.
Blackwake was made in the ESENTHEL engine, and started as a hobby project between 2 friends in 2013.
Playing as the Royal Navy or Pirates in two teams of up to 27, Blackwake players work together to fire cannons, shoot muskets, and clash swords with the enemy in a battle to own the sea, with a wide variety of different ships, weapons, and customizable cosmetics to be chosen, and across multiple game modes: Team Deathmatch, Capture the Booty, and Fortress Siege.
Blackwake successfully released into Early Access on Steam in 2017 for Windows and OSX, receiving 'very positive' user and critical reviews.
Features[editedit source]
- Broadside or board enemy ships as a crew with intense FPS Naval Combat based in the Age of Sail: Man the cannons and fire off coordinated broadsides with other players to sink the opposing ship. You will fight as a crew of up to 16 real players on a ship led by another player that has been voted as captain. Modes can have up to 54 players in a battle!
- Coordinate and cooperate to be efficient and be a devastating crew: If you're part of the crew, you may help the ship in any way you see fit without being forced to a role. You can be the part of the gunnery crew by loading cannons and firing at the enemy, or be the master of repairs and help keep the ship afloat by patching holes in the ship, repairing sails, or pumping out water. Help keep your ship's fire power up by running supplies for your fellow crewman, or even board an enemy ship and conquer it!
- Lead your crew as the Captain and dominate the opponent or defeat an arch nemesis: Issue commands to your crew, keep the coordination flowing as to which side to be at the ready, focusing on repairs or boarding the enemy! You can order which sides of the ship you want loaded with what, and motivate them until victory or death. Captain nominations occur at the start of the round and captain ratings improve or worsen depending on your success or failure.
- Game modes with variation: Ranging from a traditional duel style 1v1 ship deathmatch all the way to a 3v3 deathmatch of various ship sizes, you will be tested as a captain, your coordination with other captains, and as a crew. Weather will change with each round, spanning from a calm day with islands to a heavy storm in the open ocean. More game modes are planned to come in free content updates to make sure things stay interesting!
- Communication is key: There are multiple voice chat channels to keep coordinated, global, crew, faction, and proximity. Tell the powder monkey next to you, to fill yer' crate or the friendly ship's captain to come to your aid. Aside from voice channels there are also crew commands that are extremely helpful to people without microphones. You can expect the crew with the best communication and cooperation to win!
- Customization as both player and yer Ship: Name your ship, change its colors and make it known in tales told. Change your appearance and outfits to display your skill, time played and persistence as a fellow crewman.
- Developers that are passionate about feedback and are part of the community. Since our early development and Kickstarter we've spoken to our players through both discord and in-game chat, taking suggestions and feedback with care in real time. Every suggestion made by our players is truly considered and discussed, and we've been careful to keep in line with the vision we set out to create for Blackwake. The result is a game that we all helped create together and can enjoy together.
- As long as Blackwake breathes we'll keep her fed with contennt: We want to keep developing Blackwake with FREE additional content to make Blackwake the best possible game it can be. No paid DLC to divide the community or pay to win items to give players who spend more an advantage. We have many more ideas for Blackwake, and we're excited to use them to keep the game fresh and active.
