The Phoenix Nebula was the player party during the Curse of the Blood Sea campaign. Named after their ship, it encompasses eight player characters as well as numerous NPC crew members. The party's history is detailed on the campaign's page.

The party is headquartered both on the ship itself as well as its home port, the Silver Songbird Rummery situated on the northeast corner of Makal Island, a few hours away from the city of Tikius. Both of these things were originally owned by Roonan Deeprose, but were taken over by the party during the events of the campaign. The Rummery became well known for the production of Nebula Rum.

Initially, the ship was indebted into Pirate Lord Belanar Gullis' service. For 2 years, the ship was given a privateer contract by the Crimson Navy and worked under Grand Admiral Isabeau until the Siege of Tikius when Laoch broke the contract. After the campaign, the Nebula continues to sail the seas, and their Nebula Rum is famous across the coastal cities of Abmarah. Only two of the original PCs actively remained in the organization, Laoch & Sif.
