During the time of peace the Yellow Keel Pirates capitalized on the trade routes between the Brokers, and the Red Blades and raided safe harbors of the Red Blades Crew killing more than three hundred sailors and alleged vampyr alike ending their span of control of the isles...History
The Red Blades were once a notorious group of human pirates that operated in Stormheim on the Broken Isles. They were known for their ruthlessness, cunning, and willingness to take on any job for the right price. However, their luck began to run out when they were caught in the act of raiding a noble's ship and were sentenced to death by hanging. Desperate to escape their fate, the Red Blades made a deal with a mysterious figure who called himself Mathias Shaw. He promised to arrange a royal pardon for their crimes in exchange for carrying out a special mission. The job was to assassinate Amber Kearnen, a well-known adventurer and enemy of Shaw's employer. The Red Blades accepted the offer and set out to complete the task, but they soon discovered that things were not as they seemed. In truth, their employer was not Mathias Shaw, but the demon lord Detheroc, who had taken on Shaw's guise to manipulate them. As the Red Blades closed in on Amber Kearnen, they were ambushed by a group of vrykul led by the Blood-Thane Lucard. In the ensuing battle, the Red Blades were defeated and captured. Rather than killing them, however, Lucard saw an opportunity to turn them into his loyal servants. Using dark magic, he transformed the Red Blades into vampyrs, creatures of the night with enhanced strength, speed, and agility. Now, the Red Blades serve as Lucard's personal army, carrying out his bidding and preying on unsuspecting victims throughout the Broken Isles. The vampyrs of the Red Blades are feared by all who cross their path, and their name has become synonymous with death and destruction.
