Pirate Lore

THE AGE OF PIRATES

(Lore Tidbits)

In this world, Pirates are at large taking to the seas by the dozen every day! Kids rather look forward to tales of adventure at sea then to spend their days working in a factory so many a young'un go out with their pals only to die at the hands of the sea and it's merciless beasts, the navy, or by marauders! While most pirates tend to stick to the Pirate Strip despite it's ever-growing number of sea beasts, Marauders, Bounty-Hunters, and Pirate Killer Ships, a few Pirates fear no seas and venture where they want going through the strip with ease as well as standing up to the various countries of the world. These Pirates are part of the Pirate's Guild, an organized faction of pirates who stand the most threat to the world's governments, presenting the people of various islands and merchant companies with organized sacking and theft! The best pirates of the guild are kept in higher elevation then the others as the twelve pirate lords, each known for their destructive capabilities and their otherworldly ships.

The twelve current Pirate Lord Captains and Ships are posted everywhere by various governments to make sure if they're spotted they can be apprehended. Only occasionally is a pirate lord found and never has one been captured, most dying in battle. The current 12 pirate captains are their ship names will be listed below

"The Minotaur" Captain Felix - The Matador

"Son of the Sea" Oceanus - The Oceans Palace

"Prince of Darkness" Raleigh - Raleigh's Blight

 The Ocean: The Ocean in this world is filled with various giant beasts of doom. Most are hunted out of the four seas, but within the strip where there are no formal governments to put together such mass hunting programs they thrive freely and are the largest cause of death to merchants, travel ships, and any other poor vessel that tries to pass through the strip quietly. Amongst common beasts such as merpeople, or sirens, the more famous creatures still cause trouble in the strip such as the Kraken, or the Hydra. Some islands within the strip are also inhabited by beasts of legend where the unlucky vessel might wash up on or dock in from time to time.
