Thrice Afflicted
All who dare sail into the Devil’s Triangle die and are cursed forevermore. They become the Thrice Afflicted, a curse for every point of the damned triangle. The Thrice Afflicted haunt the seas and bring misfortune and death to all. They seek to escape their curse but cannot find relief. Faced with this despair the Thrice Cursed become mad and bloodthirsty.
The first of the three curses is that you will never heal from the wounds that killed you, suffering the pain constantly. The second of the curses is that you will never set foot on dry land or be taken back to The Triangle and imprisoned for years. The third of the curses is that they are consumed by a single desire that becomes the only thing that can bring them joy. The most common of the desires being the eradication of pirates.
