## **Culture**

The **Pipesharks** are known throughout the region as menaces to innocents, naval ships and merchants. They plunder who they want, when they want and with no mercy for anyone. A common motto within the crew is "Aye, an eye for a life makes ye' more fittin' for the crew." Aboard the ship are Hadozee, used as slave labor. They are treated poorly, with no pay and are made to do the dirty work of the ship.

The crew is split up into two sections, the High and Low crew. The High Crew consists of the Captain, the second-hand (commonly referred to as the First-Mate), the navigator and the treasurer. All play vital roles in keeping the ship and crew in order.

The ship itself is referred to by the crew as, the "Wallowed Lady"- named after Ralena, goddess of the sea.

### **Captain**

The role of the Captain is to ensure the ship and its' crew are running and working smoothly. The Captain has final say on what will happen, where to set off to, how to go about combat, and how to divvy up pay. It also falls upon the Captain to navigate the ship during combat. If it so happens the crew needs to stop somewhere, the Captain is responsible for ensuring the safety of the ship and the crew while resting.

### **Second-Hand (First-Mate)**

The role of the First-Mate is to lead and manage the crew. It falls upon the First-Mate to decide who uses what weapon and where they are to be stationed during combat. It is also the responsibility of the First-Mate to resolve any issues that may arise amongst the crew, such as complaints about low pay or aggression towards one another. The Hadozee are to be commanded by the First-Mate.

### **Navigator**

The role of the Navigator is to ensure the ship gets to where it needs to be. They are responsible for map keeping, sail directions and navigating the ship outside of combat.

### **Treasurer**

The role of the Treasurer is to keep track of treasure and loot gained by the crew. They are also responsible for negotiating and bartering with merchants in order to sell off loot.

## History

### Background

The **Pipesharks** were founded in 380 3A by Galagow Permuse, as an attempt to gain recognition and riches. The first boat of the **Pipesharks** was named 'Smoke', after the crews' habit of smoking pipes aboard the ship. Originally the group was named simply "The Pipecrew", but after a vicious attack by sharks that destroyed 'Smoke'- slaughtering nearly all the crew, Galagow renamed his group to the "**Pipesharks**". Many rumoured that among the sharks that attacked was the Megalodon.

After being rescued by a merchant ship, the remaining crew murdered and took over the very same ship, giving it the name the "Wallowed Lady", for the goddess of the sea, Ralena had taken pity on them.

The crew did not became famously known until the early 390s'. The first mark to make them known was their pillage of Wintrol, a coastal city of The Empire. In this pillaging, they slaughtered near 300 civilians and took riches rumored up to be worth 40,000 Platinum. The attack made headlines across the seas and empire. Soon enough, the **Pipesharks** were on The Empire's most wanted list- a bounty set of 50,000 gold for each member handed over, dead or alive, with a bounty of 200,000 gold for Captain Galagow Permuse.

### Modern History

At the time of Booze Brothers (Campaign), the **Pipesharks** are still an active pirate crew who have yet to be taken down. Though they have been relatively quiet in recent years with few sightings across the Southern Seas.
