The Holdfast of The Bloody Bay Fleet [/table]

---

The Seat of The Fleet (Wynchestir for reference):

"To whom it may concern, we The Bloody Fleet petition the Crown Estate Commission to be recognized in service to the crown. As a show of our loyakty, we are relinquishing to you our three most vicious captains, to render into your justice."

-The Grand Bosun, Parcival MacDonnaugh

Please introduce your Holdfast down below

The Bloody Fleet is a collection of pirate crews that is headed by the Grand Admiral and his Bosun. Whilst this is their first time contacting the Crown of Bastion, they have developed their two islands into a somewhat prospering community of pirates.

⠀
Please give a description as to how your Holdfast is governed

There is a council of captains, where every captain who owns a ship and heads a crew has a say. Of course, the inner circle of the heads of industry has the most influence. the Admiral has complete command of course, and is assisted by the Grand Bosun and the offices of the Scriptorium to aid the Council.

Do you have any custom races you want to introduce? If so, describe them briefly down below

More accurately termed "folk of the sea," as those who have joined the Sunken Flotilla of the Fleet are more diverse than simply mermen and sirens. All sorts of deep ones call themselves "Domhain Sochraid," or Friends in the Deep. The sea folk of the Seat have been there since before the towns there were pirate shanties and refugee slums, living far below the waves, oout of sight of the populace for generations, until one triton rose from the waves and offered friendship to Admiral Royce, who accepted heartily. Since then, those below were named "Domhain Sochraid."

Tritons, sometimes mistakenly called "sea elves", are tall humanoids that seem human enough at first glance, discounting a shimmery blue or green hue to their skin, but on closer examination one notices the slightly bulging eyes, the fin-shaped ears, webbed digits, and thin slits just below the jawline. They are the majority of the population of the Curia Sub Mare, their own name for the people of the the deep. Their traditions are steeped in honor and arrogance, and it is fully expected that a triton will die before submitting to shame. Their heroes include many who have put themselves in and through great harm to ensure honor and safety of the Curia. They even devote themeselves to a warrior spirit Praelitius, whose name literally translates to "warrior." This worship and devotion comes in the form of never backing down from a duel, and, if insulted, to seek recompense through combat. This bloody-minded arogance and sense of honor can make those unaware of a Triton's sensibilities shocked at the lengths they will go.

Piscinae, called "fishmen" behind their backs, are just that. Humanoid fishes, sharks, and occasionally crustaceans or even cephalopods also populate the depths. They are much less seen than tritons or other merfolk, but they are valued in crews, as they value the families for and on board ships with their lives. "Trust a Piscina with your life, and they shall save you from Donne and Eth better than Gaul ever will."

While not seen on land often, they are nonetheless a help to the crews. The seas are their home, and their wisdom has guided many bountiful fishing trips, explorations, and even leviathan hunts. When ships are wrecked or scuttled, the sea folk are their to rescue the sailors, and later reclaim the ships from the deep. Many lost ships have been reclaimed in this manor, either as new ships or housing for crewmembers that have retired or starting family.

The Curia Sub Mare governs those below the waves surrounding the seat, and although it is customary that only tritons hold seats in their senate, as they have for many generations, the piscinae, sirens, and mermen often hold seats pf their own. It was their senator Nereus Lentinus Audax who first made the Curia known to the Council, and they often act in tandem, with members of the Curia sitting in on Council meetings, and captains like the triton Lentinus or the piscina Mare Dives sitting in on senate meetings.

Please summarise the status of natural and processed goods, and describe what your Holdfast lacks here:

The Bloody Fleet has two main industries, smithing and distilling. Uriel Steelbeard and his ring of foundries both dug into the land and towering above the surroundings creating weapons and armor to equip the sailors, as well as weapons and armor to be sold to others who desire fine quality, if mundane, weapons. The second industry of brewing alcohol is another priority of the Fleet, beginning with brewing alcohol from fish to actually growing their own cane sugar and grain to create more palatable drinks of rum and ship's drink.

The Fleet desires, nay, requires gold in any form, and other fineries, such as silks, marble, and other symbols of wealth and luxury.
