 === How Knave's Cove became Ocean Shore ===
-Ocean Shore was originally known to the [[settings:centralia:therhine|Rhine Archipelago]] as Knave's Cove. In 9984 SF Knave's Cove was home to several bands of pirates who looted the various ships that traveled the Rhine's waters, Both the Natatorium and the Cove Marina date back to this time, most of everything else was nothing more than a slum, much like Prall.
+Ocean Shore was originally known to the [[settings:centralia:therhine|Rhine Archipelago]] as Knave's Cove. In 2460 SD Knave's Cove was home to several bands of pirates who looted the various ships that traveled the Rhine's waters, Both the Natatorium and the Cove Marina date back to this time, most of everything else was nothing more than a slum, much like Prall.
 At the time, the favorite hangout of all the pirates was a small shack called the Four Fins. The pirates would come in after a long sea voyage to describe their plundering and pillaging. The Four Fins disappeared late one night though. The residents of Knave's Cove awoke to find a ten-story luxury hotel complete with a empty parking lot, a heated swimming pool, a fancy restaurant, a staff of fifty, and a security system that resisted all conventional attacks on the hotel.

 A year of conflict and confusion continued as the pirates attempted to discover what happened to their "beloved" Four Fins. It took the strategies of the ingenious hotel clerk, Nathan Rork, to halt the hostilities of the pirates and get them to understand how profitable tourism is. Nathan was known as Bakshiish among the pirates and later among his fellows at the hotel. The name means something along the lines of ”what are you going to do for me?" Nathan's business sense helped him move quickly up the ranks in the hotel's corporate ladder.
-The pirates of Knave's Cove, from 9985 SF until 9987 SF transformed the dirty little village into a tourist town. The graveyards on the west side of the town were converted into a large Gahlf course. The mysterious hotel was renamed the Five Fins Resort Hotel. The area around the marina was turned into a cluster of small shops. Finally the pirates settled down into homes on the east side of town; they gave up the seas for a legal form of land piracy; tourism.

 The town was renamed Ocean Shore and advertisement began. Within days a few artisans from Centralia City went to Ocean Shore on vacation and were quick to spread news of the wonderful little town and it's splendid hotel.

 === Molly Shears ===
-Molly is a new-comer to the council. Her father, Ponner Shears, passed away peacefully at the age of 82 in 10005 SF. He was the leader of the Three-Jane. Although not particularly famous as a pirate, he gathered many followers and was known to raid villages with large forces. The Three-Jane clan is by far the largest, but also the oldest. There are many children however.

 Molly is a tall, slender and very attractive lady. She's in her early thirties but looks much younger. She keeps her black hair cut short at the shoulder, and almost always wears a headband around her forehead to keep the hair out of her green eyes. Molly is an accomplished dancer, and has learned a good deal of acrobatics. Perhaps her most impressive skill is that of knife throwing, which she does with deadly accuracy. The other men of the council learned quickly not to play games with her when she threw a knife at Frag Zagota's head and cut a slice of his beard off.
