Gibbs:"Aye, the original plan was to use nine pieces of eight to bind Calypso, but when the First Court met, the Brethren were, to a one skint broke."
Pintel:"So change the name."
Gibbs:"What? To 'Nine Pieces of Whatever-We-Happen-to-Have-in-Our-Pockets-at-the-Time?' Oh yes, that sounds very piratey."

Jack Swordmenace- A musical locket that he and his love (who left him) share an identical pair of, which contains one half of a song (the other half is in the other locket, similarly to Jones's). The locket plays a chime much like the Davy Jones's and Calypso's lockets.

==Why it was formed==
Prior to its formation300px|left|The scene in which the calling for the formation of the 5th Brethren Court was made, Captain Leon and Lord Beckett of the EITC had declared that anyone suspected of piracy was to be hanged. Many rights were also taken away from the citizens of the Caribbean, including the right to a trial by jury of peers. Then, Captain Jack Swordmenace decided to stand up for pirates' rights and form the new Brethern Court, which was lead by some of the most well-known and legendary pirates of all time.
Ahoy Mates,
I be Capatin John Fatbeard. I just wanted to let know the brethren that the bonelords inc. are with ye now. We will help you defeat Leon. Leon killed me father and so I wanted to ask if I can join ye.
Fair Winds,
Captain John
==Anti-Leon Movement==
This is to discuss what the Court shall do with that mad man Leon. Please leave your thoughts in the comments below. -Marcus Warhawk
==Our Calling==
The call to which the Brethren responds with a meeting is simple.
300px|left
The king and his men stole the queen from her bed, and bound her in her bones... the seas by ours, and by the powers, where we will, we'll roam.
Yo ho, all hands, hoist the colors high..
Heave ho, thieves and beggars, never shall we die
Some men have died and some are alive
- and others sail on the sea..
- with the keys to the cage, and the Devil to pay, we lay to Fiddler's Green!
Yo ho! Haul together! Hoist the colors high! Heave ho! Thieves and beggars! Never shall we die!
The bell has been raised 
from it's watery grave... 
Do you hear it's sepulchral tone? 
We are a call to all, 
pay heed the squall 
and turn your sail toward home!
Yo, ho, haul together,
hoist the colors high. 
Heave ho, thieves and beggars, 
never shall we die.
==Resign==
Sadly, do to personal reason I'm resigning from the 5th Brethren Court.
 01:37, October 11, 2010 (UTC)
==VICTORY!==
The Brethren Court has been victorious in rallying the pirates to their first victory against Leon! The battle was named The Battle of Brethren Court, and it is posted on the wiki. Check it out, and for those that were there add more details!
The battle lead to the capturing and execution of many EITC leaders, although a few, namely Captain Leon, William Darkvane, and John Macbatten managed to escape. Commander James Warhawk was given the task of executing the EITC Chief of the Cannoneers, Jim Bluehawk.
==Warhawk resigns, Gets imprisoned, Escapes, Rejoins==
James Warhawk has reigned his place in the Brethren Court and his title of Pirate Lord (If you don't believe me, ask him) But after betraying Leon during a massive Sea exercise, James was thrown into the High Security Prison in Fort Dundee. if anyone wishes to visit him, he can be found on Fort Dundee. There, James was sentenced to 500 Years behind bars. He is currently serving his fourth year. But then, James was busted out by his old friend Francis Bluehawk and his militia. James then was able to rejoin the Brethern Court, now having a purpose to fight for.
==Matter of the Election of a Pirate King/Queen==
While it would have been preferable to not have to vote a pirate King/Queen, the need has arisen due to the war with Leon and the EITC.
The rules for the vote are as follows.
#Only pirate lords can vote.
#Only pirate lords can be elected.
#You may vote for yourself
The problem with this is that usually every Pirate lord just votes for himself/herself. Post your vote below and NO CHEATING. That means NO CHANGING OTHER PEOPLES VOTES. To ensure this doesn't happen, there'll be a sub-section for each pirate lord's vote.
===UPDATE!===
So far in the elections for pirate king 11 pirate lords have voted and the tally is..
Jack Swordmenace: 5 votes
Richard Goldvane: 1 vote
Stpehen: 2 votes
Kat Bluebonnet: 1 vote
Nate Raidhawk: 1 vote
Ian Bone Crusher: 1 vote
Francis Bluehawk: 1 vote
Jean Le'fitte: 1
The Elections are over, and Jack Swordmenace has been chosen as the King of the Brethren Court!
==War is declared==
The Elites of the Co, along with the TF have declared war on the Brethren Court!
Wake up and smell the burning fleets.
Once a Pirate King is decided, we shall go to war.
We will fight. And you will die.
~ Pirate Lord Jack Swordmenace
==EITC REVOLUTION!!!!!!!!==
Ladies and gentlemen, this is it. I have made a band of high-ranking EITC Officers who wish to throw Leon out of office and to replace him with a new, non-insane ruler. Now, the officers had a vote, and they approve me as the leader of the New PEACEFUL EITC. We have a plan to sign a treaty with the pirates in the Caribbean and restore peace and order back to the land. Now, the revoltion and I are planning to overthrow Leon tomorrow, my term as new Head of the EITC will begin immediately after. I will sign a treaty with ALL members of the Brethern Court and we can once again be at peace. An end to the war.... Sounds magnificent, doesnt it? Please leave your thoughts in your comments below. Thank You. -Lord James Warhawk'
Oh how wonderful this would be Warhawk. But sadly, I'm afraid it might not work. The only reason people even work for Leon, who is in every meaning of the word "Self-Entitled", is because they are bored and have nothing else to do. The people who work for him are conflictarians, as I like to call them. They just fight to fight, and they will fight whoever is the side in charge. So, in a game about pirates, they became EITC. Honestly, I don't think this would work. You would have to have some kind of, and I can't believe the words that are coming out of me mouth, "fake war" in order to keep people interested enough to leave the maniac. They work for Leon because its interesting that way, and we oppose him in part for the same reason.
~ Pirate Lord Jack Swordmenace
My god.... my "rebellion" just turned on me. They captured me and tried to hand me over to Leon, but I was lucky enough to be rescued by my men.... You are right Jack, this war will take every last ounce of our strength to win.
-Lord James Warhawk
Sorry to break it to you guys but I have joined the EITC, I was once a Lord under Lord Ben but I left when the guild broke up. If you want to stop the EITC, you'll have to stop me.
No problem, someone hand me a pistol

==The Pirata Codex==
"The Code is the law."
:―Teague[src]
:
Articles of the Pirata Codex included:
:*The Right of Parlay
:*Artycle II, Section I, Paragraph VIII (sharing of the spoils)
:*Artycle II, Section II, Paragraph I (whoever first spotted a treasure-laden ship could choose the best pistol for themselves)
The Codex also contained guidelines on how to maroon a man, useful rum-based recipies, and amendments for governing piracy in the South China Seas.[2]
The code was created by pirate legends Sir Henry Morgan, and my personal role model, Bartholomew Roberts, the greatest pirate who ever lived.
As per the code we are electing a king so as to declare war on the EITC.
==Disqualification==
Richard Goldvane is disqualified for removing James Warhawk's vote and giving himself 2 votes. I said no cheating, and I meant it.
~ Jack Swordmenace
All i did was post that i had two votes BECAUSE MY FRIEND VOTED FOR ME! Im SOOOOOOOO sorry if i accidently erased someone. All i meant to do was update it! I hope you understand i didn't do anything! Someone else might have done it but, not me! I wouldn't do anything wrong. And how did i cheat? I posted i had two votes yes, but that was because someone voted for me named El Fantasma1. I DIDN'T ERASE WARHAWKS VOTES! Im sorry for ' cheating ( Which i DIDN'T!!!!!!! ) ' or ' erasing someone's vote ( Which i DIDN'T!!!!!!!) ' and im sorry for raising my voice but dang you blame people too quick ( No offense ). 21:32, October 11, 2010 (UTC)
Sorry, I blamed you because I had checked the page only a minute before and it said you had made an edit, and I saw it all. I didn't see that Warhawk had actually changed his own vote. So I didn't know otherwise, my apologies. But only pirate lords can vote (since the Brethren Court is composed of the pirate lords), so sadly this Richard Goldhawk's vote isn't valid.
But you aren't disqualified, my mistake
~ Jack Swordmenace
==A Formal Apology==
I, Lord James Warhawk, consider this to be an honest mistake I unwillingly caused. I was to change my vote for myself and put Jack Swordmance's name down, but I forgot that I accidentally erased my name. I am sorry for all the trouble I caused with this.
Sincerely, Lord James Warhawk.

==THE KING IS DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!==
My god.... what have they done... Our king, our leader, Jack Swordmenace..... is Dead..... Fallen to the sword of Jolly Roger (acutally killed by a dagger)... What will we do? Who will become king? So many questions, but so few answers. God help us...
Um... Still with the livin mate! That article was written as a pretext, in other words, I went to Tia Dalma and this is what she prophesized (note the date is 2 years in the future).
~ Jack Swordmenace
==Mysterious Addition...... Jean is Back?==
Ahoy....... Jean Le'fitte is back indeed. ( for those who didn't know ). Yes I'm back. I am currently third in command of Renegade Empire, just sprung up outta Billy Lockcutter's Family, I'm his cousin so I'm in charge of what you might call, sabatures. Looters, pyro's, cutthroats, my usual work. Anywho, yeah. lol. Jean Lafitte is a real pirate lord, who lived in, err, the 17th century?, and did sail the caribbean. Btw, Jean is pronounced John with a french accent, and fitte is pronounced, feet. I'll be attending the meeting, and anybody who objects to me being on the court boohoo. Hope you don't mind me butting in like the idea, grats Jack, your highness, and I hope I can add whatever insight or help possible. 
As for now I won't be much help, seeing as I am basic, get unlimited back in 2 weeks though.
Jean Le'fitte
Dude... Billy deleted the guild -_-.~ Richard Goldvane/ 21:45, October 13, 2010 (UTC)
OK I'm guildless :) sorry for missing the meeting! I am currently banned as of October 16, 2010 (UTC) but idk when I get back
P.S.
Seeing that lord of the Mediteranian sea controls territories out of it, and Jean Lafitte is a pirate FROM france, would it be alright if I modify the map so I just get the stuff right outside france, and he gets more territory, as well as the people I get territory from? I won't do it NOW because I don't wanna upset anybody but would it be alright if I do so? I won't even ask for the caribbean where he really was but just wondering.
==Prepare every vessel that floats.==
We declare war on Captain Leon of the EITC (Elites of the Co).
Make preparations, the battles start soon. The war will be Ship PVP and regular PVP
~ Pirate King Jack Swordmenace
===First Skirmish===
The first skirmish of the renewed war with the EITC occurred October 13, 1721. A group of pirates (including pirate lords Nate Raidhawk and Francis Bluehawk, and Pirate King Jack Swordmenace) walked into the King's Arm tavern on Abassa. After a brief talk, they noticed a number of EITC in the bar. They grabbed their pistols..
The EITC had barricaded themselves behind a desk and returned fir immediately, but they stood no chance against the masterful gunslinging pirate lords.

==Is it Cool==
Is it ok if my guild joins the court.Peter Wildsilver Pirates Forever! 11:47, October 21, 2010 (UTC)
==NOTE!==
It has come to my attention that recently the members section has been edited so that this "Captain Jim Logan" was added (most likely added himself) and Pearson Wright, a Pirate Lord, was removed. May I remind you all that per the Pirata Codex, we are bound to call a vote before any change to the Brethren members can take place. So there will be no more unauthorized editting of the members page. The Code is not just a set of guidelines like many of you seem to think. It is doctrine! Law. And nobody, not even myself, is above its rule.
~ Jack Swordmenace, King of the 5th Brethren Court
==Skeletons!==
Haha, prepare yourself for the wrath or my army! They will destroy the court forever!
Slappy999 14:21, October 25, 2010 (UTC)
You have no army
We have every pirate in the world on our side, from the Caribbean to the South China Sea.
Hehe, Slappy, you best go back to being a good boy.
No go think about what you've done XD
~ Jack Swordmenace, King of the 5th Brethren Court
==Possible Remover==
Several of us believe the person who tried to boot Goldvane was Jean LeFitte.
Jean, you didn't exactly make the best first impression with me or anyone else at the Brethren when you "invited yourself" and added yourself to the list, as the Brethren Court is invite only. However, as we are generally hospitable and amiable to fellow pirates, we didn't do anything about it and welcomed you into the Court. Now, with this and the suspicions of disobeying the Codex, you are on THIN ICE until we are certain as to the remover.
~ Jack Swordmenace, King of the 5th Brethren Court
I would bet 100 dolars that Jean is the remover. He um.. just doesn't like me and gets made easy. He always wants to be.. ' ahead ' of me... as if he is jealous or something. ( No offense to Jean )
For example : He kicked me out of Francis Brigade due to me ignoring him. I ignored him because he was being rude and yelling and spamming in Whisper chat. so he got me kicked out. Also, when i created a page for the guild me and him were in ( On Johnathan ), the Renegade Empire, he created a page soon after. So when i told him that i had already made a page, he got mad. I think he wanted the glory of creating the page. He even wrote Created by : Jean Le'fitte. Which leads me to believe that he doesn't like me. I mean NO offense to you, Jean.
 21:38, October 26, 2010 (UTC)
==5th Brethren Court Guild==
I've recently created a 5th Brethren Court guild, and would appreciate it if you guys could help me build it.
Also, meeting on Friday, 8:00 Eastern Standard time, Barbossa's Cave on Exuma server. As pirate lords, ye must honor the call. And this time I won't be afk XD
~ Jack Swordmenace, King of the 5th Brethren Court
==About the Lords==
Each Pirate Lord, please give a brief summary of what the pirates and buccaneers who look up to ye should know about you. Feel free to talk in 1st or 3rd person.
===Pirate King Jack Swordmenace===
"Listen... I may be a notorious scallywag, but I'm also a man of my word."
Jack Swordmenace is the fearless and ruthless leader of the 5th Brethren Court. He, along with James Warhawk, helped stop the massacre at Fort Charles square and motivated the pirate captives to break free of their manacles and escape, but at a high cost. Jack is scarred for life by the images he's had to endure at the hands of his bloodthirsty, evil, and slightly demonic younger brother, Captain Leon. Born and raised to be a High Ranking EITC official (In the place of Captain Leon), he has the proper manners and decency of a High Society schmuck but isn't afraid to fight dirty either. Jack is GM of the United Pirate Army, the official guild of the 5th Brethren Court. Jack specializes in heavy explosives and pistols.
==Dear Pirate King Jack Swordmenace,==
Spys have been listening to this page and the chat of Pirate Lords and you. If we must; we should make a website just for the Bretheran Court.
- Pirate Lord Matthew Darkskull﻿
==﻿Reminder of MEETING TOMORROW, THURSDAY DECEMBER 30TH==
This Thursday at 7pm eastern time, Barbossa's Cave, on Bonaam Server (we have protection from intrusion there courtesy of Co Republic).
As Pirate Lords, ye all must honor the call.
Fair winds.
