→History
Paragon had had one previous captain before [[Uto| Uto Ludluck]] took over. Uto sailed recklessly and was accompanied by his son, [[Kerr]]. A winter storm capsized Paragon and six months later, he drifted back into the harbor at [[Bingtown]], upside down. With that storm, the deaths of both Uto and Kerr had quickened the liveship. [[Setre|Setre Ludluck]], Uto's wife, rushed down to the docks to the now quickened Paragon who cried out to his mother that he had come home. Setre never returned and Paragon was abandoned.
The other liveships tried to comfort Paragon, but soon the broken liveship was avoided and labelled the Pariah. After Setre's death, creditors took ownership but were persuaded in time by two Ludluck cousinsbrothers, [[Cable]] and [[Sedge]], to extend credit and fund more trading voyages. Cable, being the eldest, formed a bond, hired a crew, and took him out sailing. Seemingly rehabilitated, Cable was praised and Paragon was courteous and bashful. The next sighting of Paragon showed a wreck onboard and no sign of the crew or Cable. Sedge found no trace of what happened in the logs and then subsequently made 17 voyages with Paragon, pretending the figurehead was just inert wood. Once again, people began to believe that the streak of ill luck was broken.
The 18th voyage that Sedge took, he proudly took his son, [[Lucto]] with him. The ship didn't return to the harbor for another 20 years, hull up once again. Paragon was beached, chained, and left alone after becoming an avoided blockage in the harbor. The ship had been stripped bare of all logs and belongings, and the figurehead was hacked up and blinded.
