Blades of Ascalon

Blades of Ascalon is a crew of the Sage Ocean flying the flag of Ascalon.

History
The crew was established by the necromancer Mortesecca in 2007, after he had proferred the so called "Prophecy of Ascalon". On July 21, it joined the flag created by Pishkirlin and Mortecca himself.

Blades of Ascalon are currently the armed forces of the flag. Officers of Ascalon may enlist to train either fellow midshipmen or their skills on vessel of any class.

Crew Information
Ascalon: The lance that Saint George used to slay the dragon, named after the city Ashkelon.

Blades of Ascalon is a training crew. It was established to give everyone the chance to practice all the puzzles, including Battle Navigation. Once a pirate will get good stats and a Distinguished standing in Bnav, he/she will be asked to join our sister crew.

Ranks

 * Pirate: as soon as you ask any Officer to join.
 * Officer: Neophyte experience in Battle Navigation. Since there there will be only one unlocked ship, the deed of a vessel, although not required, is an asset to run your own pillages.

Please note that a pirate must have a pirate badge in order to be able to play the Navigation puzzles. In order to unlock the puzzles on navy missions, an experience of Broad in the other duty puzzles is required for Navigation, and an experience of Narrow in Navigation is needed for Battle Navigation.


 * Fleet officer: Distinguished bnav is the key. As soon as you reach that standing, ask a Senior Officer for more details.
 * Senior Officer: Rank reserved to the Officers of our sister crew.

Public Statement
For the the day of wrath has come

And when the good omens appeared in to the sky, the White Fers, who first prophesied, regained his powers and came back to the Realm disguised in green.

And he descended from the Kingdom of Eternal Light and Glory and his soul abandoned its volatile form and reincarnated into a body that the Flame cannot consume.

For the the day of wrath has come.

And the Black Knight, the Great Thief, stood in the midst of the White Pawns.

And I heard the Nation singing: "Sorkhi-ye to az man; Zardi-ye man az to."

And I saw the White Fers bringing back what the Knight stole so that the Pil could forge anew the sacred sword with all his craftmanship.

And the Dragon left Sicily.

And I saw the Blades piercing the flanks of their foes

And this, I, Rastaban beheld.
