Sanguine Sky

Sanguine Sky was founded on May 1, 2006 and flies the flag of Shut Up and Pillage.

History
Sanguine Sky was formed when its captain, Hagarth, and his friend, Dejana, separated from their former crew. Hagarth became captain and Dejana became senior officer and quartermaster of the fledgling crew. They were soon joined by other pirates who rose to the rank of officer, including Rydaron, Slugworth, Tomhuck, and Olympias. For a brief period Sanguine Sky was part of the flag Gracroi's Legions under the rule of its queen, Bannshee. Soon afterwards, the honorable flag Faminto por Sangue made an offer that Sanguine Sky could not resist. The crew joined the new flag and was greeted openly by the other crews that were already members. Sanguine Sky continues to be a fully functional crew and enjoys frequent pillages and flag events.
