The Pirate Code

The Pirate Code, coming from Corsair, God of Pirates 's laws. 

Take what you want, give nothing back.

If anything is worth doing, it is worth doing to excess.

Do not begrudge anyone the accident of their birth. Do not begrudge that which cannot be changed. Remember that Our Lord is half-blooded bastard.

There are no bastards on Corsair's seas.

Alcohol is a divine gift. Do not allow Our Lord’s gift to be wasted.

If parley is formally requested, it must be granted.

Do not needlessly slaughter someone who has surrendered.

If a hale and hearty prisoner refuses to work their way to land, they may explain to Our Lord why they refuse to work. It is not murder to arrange this discussion.

Do not steal from another of Corsair’s faithful while upon the sea.

Before leaving port, shares of the coming bounty must be agreed upon by all members of the crew.

A ship with its own flag is sovereignly ruled by the Captain and their officers.

A captain must be the last to disembark a ship that is sinking.

Mutiny upon the sea is a sacrilege against Corsair. Such mutineers cannot be counted among Corsair’s own, unless they are pardoned by The Lord himself.

Never write The Lord’s laws down with quill and ink.
