The Eternal Hydrae

The Eternal Hydrae is a crew that sails the Hunter Ocean. The crew currently flies the flag of EAC.

History
The Eternal Hydrae was originally founded under the name Drake van die Ossean by Draak on 11 September, 2006.

Alyhs was apointed captain of the crew on 12 November, 2006, when Draak was unable to continue his active role in the crew.

Eventually the crew started gaining momentum and pirates and joined the flag of Dawn Treader Voyagers around 20 December, 2006.

The crew was renamed from Drake van die Oseaan to The Eternal Hydrae on 14 January, 2007.

The crew left the flag Dawn Treader Voyagers on 7 September 2007 and formed their own flag on 11 September 2007. The new flag was named Echidna's Children.

In May 2008, Alyhs takes temporary personal leave of the game, giving Tottspop captaincy during her absence. She retook the reigns at the end of June, once again whole, hearty and healthy!

Public Statement
Fighting us is like fighting a many-headed monster, which, each time a neck is severed, sprouts a head even fiercer and cleverer than before. You are fighting that which is unfixed, mutating, indestructible. You are fighting the Eternal Hydrae!!!!
