The Four Cardinals Wiki

**Welcome to the The Four Cardinals Wiki!**
Welcome to the world of the Four Cardinals and the Classari! Constantly fighting with each other, no side has ever come to an agreement. The Classari want to stop piracy, and go to ungodly lengths to see it happen. They presume to follow the law, but when you get closer, they're forcing the law on others. They constantly sail the seas, hunting every last pirate down and hanging them. They think that if they can get a Cardinal, the rest of them will listen. The Four Cardinals have evaded their pursuits and fought back against them {separately} for awhile now. Both sides are pretty evenly matched as it seems. One day, a new foe appears in the East. They are on the hunt for a spot as a Cardinal. But not only that; they want to rule over the pirates, make them do whatever they want.

## Groups

**Pirates**- Unlike what you might think, there's more than one kind of pirate. To start with, there's the lowest kind of pirates; the ones who serve on the unnamed ships, raid cities, kill citizens. Then there's the middle class, the ones who are lucky enough to be among the crew of a Cardinal. Lastly, there's the Cardinal's themselves. Four people, who hold sway over their section of the world. Once a year, they come to meet on Castaway Island to discuss the Classari and any other threats. That week, once they set foot on Castaway Island, all disputes in between them are postponed until after the meeting, for it is neutral territory.

There is a Cardinal for the South, North, East, and West, and they are all captains of a ship.￼ The Cardinal of the South sails the Solis, the North mans the Seabelle, the West captains the Caligo, and the East sails the Vindicta.

**The Classari-** For decades, they have hunted and exterminated pirates of any and all ranks. They swear to the law, and put bounty's on pirate's heads, with The Cardinals are the highest up on the reward list. They hope to one day exterminate pirates from the world, no matter the cost to their own.

## Runes

There is magic in this world, yes, but not in your own hands. It can only be given by finding a rune, which are very rare. Once you touch a rune, you have that power. Runes can be found either in random places, or in the bones of their animals. For the Animal Runes, once you get one, your physical body adapts to become more like that animal. This could include growing wings, changing of hair color, growing strange ears, or enhanced senses. The severity of that is up to you. Animal Rune wielders can shapeshift to become their animal, although it may take awhile. Runes in general are very hard to manage, so it takes a long time for people to master them. Some never do.
