Captain Romke
Captain Romke is the ghost of a former norn seafarer, who is now trapped on the shores of Orr with the neverending burden to retrieve his lost map. He was the owner of Romke's Horn, a family heirloom to norn player characters who chose Lost an Heirloom in the Biography.

Personal story[edit]
- Chapter 8: Victory or Death
Dialogue[edit]
- This place is cursed, stranger. Take my advice and keep sailing. You don't want to stay here.
Who are you?
- Captain Romke, sailor, explorer, adventurer. My ship and crew were stranded here when Orr rose, and our spirits have been trapped here ever since. Don't share our fate: leave while you can.
Take heart: Zhaitan will be defeated. You will be free again.
Zhaitan should fear me, not the other way around.
I'm not leaving yet. I have adventuring of my own to do.
- Thanks for the warning, but I can take care of myself.
Historical dialogue[edit]
This dialogue has either been removed or is bugged and no longer recognises the player chose the pertaining biography option.
- If norn who chose Lost an Heirloom
- You seem very familiar to me. How is that possible?
- I am your descendant, Captain. I have walked with the kodan and heard their tales of your bravery and nobility.
- By the spirits, yes! I see it now. Tell me, whatever became of the horn the kodans bestowed upon me?
- The horn was corrupted by Jormag. It's gone now. I'm sorry.
- A pity. But your being here proves our family's blood still feels the call of the open sea. Meet me near Mausolus[sic] Sea. At least your adventure can continue beyond these corrupted shores.
- Thank you, captain. I'll see you there.
- That's a longer story than I have time to tell.
Trivia[edit]
- Romke and his crew are some of the few norn characters with Dutch and Frisian names instead of the typical Norse: Romke's is of Frisian origin.
- Romke was named after a developer's grandfather.
- Romke is voiced by George Coe.
