Known Pirates of the Powdered Oath

"The Oath is like the Binding. Not as tight but based on honour, of strength and of convinience. A Captain can be trusted to be a captain. A captain cannot be trusted to be a gentleman. In Bluden Kampf, you fight for every inch, here is no different. We are represented by our ships, the more ships, the more captains, the more riches and the more Infamy. I have been at top for over 6 years now, outcompeted Grantalus and Pech. Fuckers deserve to kneel. I'll gut them both one day and rule the Storm Sea as the only pirate Empress!" - Captain Ootah speaks to the Imperial Gazzette by Vinnie La'Straff   "You can hear it here. The wind blowing. The voice, the song of freedom. Nowhere else can one be outside of King's yolk. They may name it different. A tribe, a noble, a guild. All just laws tying one down. Not here, not in the Seas. Too wild yet. From Ebbing peak, to the Hanging dock, to the Golden Scale to Oblivion's fall. I sail and sail and sail. It is the only thing worthwhile. By powder by ship, by arm by wit. The powdered oath."- Captain Shamshir the Sinking Wind   "An oath taken, with brutes they say, but the heart frives one to move ever on." -Captain Neriya the Clotted Soul   "The Sea doesn't judge. The pact does but the bastards can't act. Only in this way can I live." -Captain Great Scale.   "Pirates, however they position themselves are rats. They ran from Kingdom or Empire and fled to fight over scraps. They are acavengers. Whether they think themselves warlords or liberators, they are all criminal. I was told if I acted against the treaty of Grace the Egalitairiians set up then I would lose my role. I destroyed Grantalus' second capital ship. They followed me into the new world. 7 ships, I am now down to 6 but have 3 more to be completed this year. This pact is a lie. I know pirates, I know the Oath. When I broke mine, my men and I didn't see the need to join one held by even more ruthless liars than the one we just left." - Rogue Admiral Canquino Del Silva on her sinking of the Nave's Blade of Grantalus' crew to the emmissary of the pirate Emperor's discovered via necromancer form their decapitated corpses.
