The Night Owls


 * This article is about the Midnight Ocean crew. For the Viridian Ocean crew, see Night Owls.

The Night Owls is a crew on the Cerulean Ocean. Upon the implosion of Rogues' Pact, Marble, dissatisfied with the autocratic organization of Seraph's Nightmare, decided to convert her vanity crew, The Night Owls, into her primary crew.

Initially all the members of The Night Owls were alt's of members of United Pillagers except Vari, boyfriend of Marble's protege Owlet. Marble initially stayed in United Pillagers for a time and captained The Night Owls under the name Hyrana. The crew decided to make a fresh start far from Seraph's Nightmare's home island of, settling first at and later at. After much deliberation and a time under the single crew flag Banner of the Owls, The Night Owls chose to join the flag Midnight Armada.

About a year after the crew joined Midnight Armada, Marble found herself spending more time playing an alt on Cobalt than her character on Midnight. She chose to put down the captain's hat, passing it on to Sunsetpork. After a few months, Howee was made captain, initially with the sole purpose of his using shanghais the crew had acquired in merging with the Ratty Rats, Howee and Vari's original, long dormant crew. In this merger the Owls gained but one active member, Karplusan. To date, Howee has not yet used the shanghais and remains captain, a situation that seems to sit well with Howee, Sunsetpork, and the rest of the crew.

The Night Owls were long time friends with the flag Otherworld and fearing the eminent break up of the Midnight Armada and hostile takeover of their home island of Park by Tyr's Own, many of the crew started sailing frequently and forming alts within the Loose Cannons, the dominant crew in Otherworld at the time. Chancy, then captain of the Cannons and monarch of Otherworld, instructed his diplomatic envoy and ambassador, Lothias to make a formal proposal to Howee and his crew to join Otherworld in the early spring of 2007. Howee was crowned a prince in the process. The Night Owls is today the second most active crew within Otherworld after the Mad Mutineers.
