Sky Pirates
With their trusty airship, these rascals roam
the skies of The Scareguards Archipelago,
plundering riches from unsuspecting merchant
ships. They dare challenge even the mightiest of
vessels—both in the skies and the seas.
Skyfarers and pirates. To understand who the Sky Pirates
are, one needs to first grasp the difference between just
being a skyfarer and a pirate. Skyfarers are individuals who
have mastered the art of navigating the air currents, piloting
airships, and surviving in the ever-changing world above
the clouds. They are skilled in charting courses through
treacherous winds and adapting to the unpredictable weather
patterns that define life in the sky. While land-dwellers
often regards both as the same, regular skyfarers can also be
traders, ferrying goods and people between the islands and
connecting the isolated communities.
Pirates, on the other hand, are a more
renegade faction among the skyfarers. They
are known for their audacious raids on
other airships and island settlements.
All to plunder valuable cargo, seize control
of rival vessels, or even engage in sky battles
for supremacy. Many of them were
born and raised on the rough-andtumble
streets of Turtle Island city.
There, the Sky Pirates honed their skills
as masters of aerial combat and cunning
tactics. Though, some of them are people picked from
the raids themselves. Or even beastkin. Pirates don’t
care about your origins or race. Because of
that, some beastkin decide to restart their
lives there, hoping for a better future.
Sky Pirate Veterans. The ones who
survived countless battles and skirmishes earn
enough respect (or fearsome reputation) to be
called veterans. At that point, they are either some of the highestranking
people on the ship or even have their own vessels. The
crew of such ships consists of their most loyal subordinates,
picked in all the years of flying. As they are ruthless and cunning
leaders who will stop at nothing to claim their loot, both respect
and fear follow them along with their reputation. Despite that,
some Sky Pirate veterans are much more complex and enigmatic.
Among them, there even are Robin Hood-like characters, taking
from the rich and giving to the poor, while others forsake their
own freedom and become ruthless mercenaries, serving bigger
nations. Even the Disciples of Chaos… though none officially.
All for the gold and treasure. Whatever the truth may be, one
thing is certain: the Sky Pirates are legendary, and their names
are spoken in hushed tones among the denizens of the cities of
the Deuslair.
These marauders are a constant source of danger in the skies.
A reminder that not all who sail the heavens have honorable
intentions.
