The Hurricane

Sailing along the Kelas Ocean, they are a group of pirates captained by famed pirate Hurricane Arthur. What was once a single crew and single ship has become a small fleet over the years. They are both feared and celebrated, the most well known of all the pirates, and a scourge to The Bourden Isles. There’s plenty of rumors that surround the ship and its crew, a mysterious bunch who has mostly remained at large.
== History ==
The first ship to be considered part of The Hurricane was The Cloud Sailor, which was captained by the late Beatrix Germaine, with Arthur Adelgrim taking the role of first mate. The voyages of the ship were short lived however, as it came to the end of its run in 1452 AV when the ship was destroyed in a great battle between the Bourdenian Navy and many other pirate ships known as the Battle of 10,000 Graves, in which The Cloud Sailor was downed halfway through the tumultuous fight. The surviving crew stayed together even without a ship and worked for hire for a number of years under the now Captain Adelgrim.
In 1455 AV, Arthur Adelgrim and the surviving crew performed a successful heist and stole a brigantine class Bourdenian Navy vessel which he renamed the Siren’s Scream. This was the true beginnings of The Hurricane, when they started to become more well-known and wanted. Five years late in 1460 AV, the crew performed another heist, capturing a galleon named the Swan Song that Captain Adelgrim renamed The Siren’s Song. With this vessel began The Hurricane’s silver age, as they performed various heists of nobility from Helleda to Asturia, all across the Kelas.
Arthur Adelgrim commissioned the Eye o’ the Storm to be built in 1464 AV, a ship that would become the largest sailing vessel all on the planet, an ambitious design and one that would take six years to build. With it's maiden voyage it not only sparked the golden age of The Hurricane, but for all piracy.
== The Fleet (WIP) ==
Over the years the crew has become rather large and spread out between many ships. While still considered to be captained by Arthur Adelgrim, the ships each have individual captains with Arthur Adelgrim taking more of a commander role.
====== Eye o’ the Storm ======
As of 1470 AV, this was the largest sailing ship on the planet, the first Man o’ War ever built.
====== Siren’s Song ======
A galleon originally known as the Swan Song and commissioned by the Bourdenian Navy, the ship first sailed in 1453 AV.
====== Siren’s Scream ======
A brigantine that first sailed under the Bourdenian flag in 1445 AV.
====== Siren’s Whisper ======
A sloop, an extraordinarily fast ship that is primarily used as a scouting vessel.
