The Crescent Corsairs
Traveling up from the south seas of the Thothian ocean, this band of pirates is known for being merciless, swathed in robes they are a mysterious force using both sea and the air to attack heavy merchants and fellow pirates that live in this ocean. They have been known to travel as far north as the East Isle and Sardinia but rarely stay long in the waters of Alphatia. Rumors speak of the leader of this band to be an Efreeti, a displaced son of one of the nobles of the great continent to the South.
Captain Kheired-Din has amassed a fleet of enormous size through kidnapping and tyrannical control of his crew.
Over the years, Kheired-Din has kidnapped hundreds of Alphatians. He forces these people to build his ships; a process that takes eight months. Thereafter, the forced laborers act as rowers aboard the vessel they constructed until their expended.
Using this method, Kheired-Din has managed to create over sixty ships, including his flagship the Strange Seas.
Structure
The Corsairs are a strict hierarchy. At the bottom are the slave rowers. Above them are the Marines, who do most of the fighting. These pirates are loyal to their pay and little else. Above them are the officers who are loyal to either Kheired-Din or his cause. Finally Kheired-Din himself is the captain of the Strange Seas, the flagship of his fleet. Only on this vessel are the entire crew - from officers down to rowers - loyal to his every word.
Public Agenda
The corsair's motives are unclear except to amass a fleet for some purpose of Kheired-Din.
