Ahoy, and welcome. Martin Tidewell is an original fictional character from the Vizlings app (card description: “Blue Sailor”). This is an unofficial fan-made guide to his fictional world: his seas, his ship, his crew, and his stories. Nothing here is history — it is all original fiction, written for fellow fans.

Every sailor in the harbor taverns of Port Mercy knows the name. Martin Tidewell has sailed the Blue Seas for longer than the charts remember — through the Squall of Nine Days, past the Teeth of the Kraken, and once, legend says, straight into the heart of the Glass Calm and back out again, whistling.
