General Information
The Cartographers, one of the oldest crews in the game, has long been a leading member of our flag of Silver Dawn. The crew places an emphasis on recruiting and training promising mates and giving all of its members a chance to enjoy and participate in all aspects of the game such as pillaging, shopkeeping, politics and involvement at the highest levels of the flag.
We are always looking for good mates to join us in our enjoyment of this fine game!
Scheduled Pillages
The crew runs a scheduled pillage per week. We set sail every Monday at 6PM Pirate time. Please join us for some booty-kicking fun!
Shoppes
The Cartographers own three shoppes as a crew: Descartography, a shipyard on Eta island, Enrico's Fermiture, a fine furnisher on Eta island, and Beach Blam-Kit, a fine iron monger on Zeta island. Members of the crew also own an assortment of stalls located around the ocean.
History
2003
The Cartographers were originally founded in the Azure Ocean on August 11, 2003. The crew was captained by Selbstlade with Arctander as senior officer and co-founder. They instituted brown and white as the crew's official colors.
On September 26, the crew merged with The Thunderous Mu-Mu Pirates, bringing in Emmy, Choto, Sunny, Sned and Tehanu among others. Some time after, the Cartographers decided to leave The Olympians flag they were part of after a disupte over a shipwright for the crew. They struck out to found a new flag, Compass Rose.
When Midnight launched on October 27, Compass Rose and its crews reformed there. Soon after, on December 23, the flag arranged a merger with Sanctioned Insanity and became Silver Dawn, where The Cartographers remain today.
2004
In January 2004, Selbstlade (known as Celb on Midnight) stepped down from the captaincy. A crew vote made Choto captain, while Sunny received the crew's royalty seat in Silver Dawn. Shortly thereafter, Diven, monarch of Silver Dawn since its formation, decided to step down. Emmy was elected in his place. Her term was fairly short, however, and she stepped down by March.
The Travellers, flagmates with the Cartographers since the formation of Compass Rose, merged with the crew in March. The Travellers brought their captain Diamondblade, as well as Crazyluigi, Borgman, Colourbeard, and Leperflesh among others to the crew. In June, Sunny gave up her seat as the royalty representative, replaced by Pleiade.
Silver Dawn colonized Eta Island on July 24, 2004. Shortly afterwards, in August, the crew got its first shoppe on the island, Descartography. Also in August, Sunny became captain after Choto relinqueshed the position. She named Crazyluigi as her first mate.
2005
Longstride joined the crew in March 2005, and was promoted to Senior Officer in June.
In June 2005, Pleiade gave up the crew's royalty seat and was replaced by Sunny.
With the introduction of housing and furniture in August 2005, the crew built its second shoppe on Eta Island, Enrico's Fermiture.
The crew was able to acquire an iron monger shoppe, Beach Blam-Kit on Zeta Island, in October of 2005 thanks to negotiations by Daedalus, who previously ran an iron monger stall on the island. In the same month, Sunny's royalty term ended, and she was replaced by Muffynz.
Later in the month, on October 26, flagmates Easily Distracted merged with the crew, bringing in their captain Crispix, Cairi, and Scottish among others.
2006
Captain Sunny was elected monarch of Silver Dawn and took office on January 1, 2006. After the coronation ceremony, Sunny passed the captain's hat to Crazyluigi, who chose Darianne as his first mate.
In February, Muffynz's term as royalty representative expired, and Darianne was chosen as his replacement. In June, Darianne's term ended, and she was succeeded by Omege. He stepped down from the position in September, and Crispix was elected as the next representative.
The following month, Crazyluigi decided to retire from the captaincy, and senior officer Daedalus was chosen to be captain. Longstride was chosen as his First Mate.
After the series of blockades of Eta Island which ended in the loss of the island to Dies Irae, Senior Officers Pinkylee, Zingman and Darianne left the crew to form a new crew called Siochan Leat and Senior Officer Crispix joined Broadsiders.
