The Scarlet Emissary

Overview
The crimson wolves are the pirates that make up the crew of the Scarlet. Each Wolf is branded with the ship's crest in the area of their choice. A right of passage for any crewmate after taking their first life for the Scarlet. Also, binding them to the ship, the brand is a death sentence if caught by officials. While Loyalty to crew is held in high regard, loyalty to the Scarlet is above all. Major Choices/decisions amongst wolves (Including the Captain) are decided by vote. Every crew member has a voice. There is no caste system, whatever caste you were born into no longer exists as a wolf, all are equal in the Scarlet's grace.

History
The Scarlet Emissary, originally known as, The Sky Warden was a warship built in the shipyards of Scuttleford. The original purpose, to be the personal craft to their Prime Minister. Pushing the pinnacle of airship weaponry and Technology at the time. Despite its Large Size, it moved effortlessly through the sky. With good winds, it can outpace most sky ships and set a good chasing speed against a skilled Helmsman. On the day of its first test flight and maiden voyage, The Sky Warden was stolen. Little is known exactly how the events transpired, however it said that the ship was taken from within. On that day, the Prime Minister and the citizens of Scuttleford watched almost half a crew of 100 ship workers fall from the sky and paint the earth. For many months, any news of the ship went quiet, leading to all dead ends.

Till 8 months later, a ship matching the description of The Sky Warden was rumored to be ravaging the trade routes towards and coming from Duchold. Word from surviving traders and eyewitnesses depicted the ship with detail, its unique build matching the stolen craft. Though the steel armored hull was now stained a dark red, the canvas sails a grayish black, and most notably the figurehead. A white marble maiden, wearing a black crown, and a golden wet veil. Though it was the woman’s face that caught the attention of most, a pained expression, as if it hurt to do all the horrible things it did. Her hands stretched out towards the sky, asking for mercy.

Most of the crew was identified at the time, consisting of the surviving ship workers, general laborers, and others from different walks of life and wealth. The ship came to be known by sky farers as, The Scarlet Emissary, for the wake of blood and destruction that came with its arrival. The crew began to call themselves the Crimson Wolves, the many hands of the Scarlet Emissary.

Hathor Nighthill, patriarch of House Nighthill, first captain and supposed Mastermind of the theft of The Sky Warden was a formidable captain. The Nighthill’s being shipbuilders, deck hands, of both land and sky, it took little to adapt to the role of leadership. He was considered a freedom fighter, against the tyranny of the cast. Killing and stealing from the rich to fill the pockets of his crew and cause chaos for the system All while feeding and helping the poor and starving. The present reputation with the poor has been somewhat squandered by the Captain Crux Nighthill.

The Scarlet Emissary has been in the Nighthill family for three generations, the eldest son taking command. The vessel's current captain is Idris Nighthill, only son of Crux Nighthill.

And so begins a new chapter of the Scarlet.
