Public Statement
...The tide is coming in...

There were some sailors floating their boat to the garnet archipelago. they braved all the obstacles, but found themselves unable to port at cochineal island. the crew turned angry, and decided to head back to harmattan. then their luck turned sour as imperials came to their ship to claim their remaining rum. The crew battled on while weary and low on cannonballs. They shot them one after another, each hitting their mark. the ships grappled and a melee occurred between the crews. As the dust settled, the sailors flew out of the cloud at full speed heading for cochineal. Each of them held a mug o' blood. They rode into port on a wave oozing with the blood that ran from the mug nothing could stop them. On that day these sailors became pirates, and later started this crew. THE DARK TIDE SHALL RISE AGAIN

Please NO flag invites, we love our flag.
